Although spatial thinking has long been a part of anthropological inquiry, it has waxed and waned in its perceived utility and centrality to the field. Much anthropological thought at the beginning of the twentieth century was concerned with the concept of diffusion and the definition of culture areas on a continental scale. Scholars—using material culture, kinship systems, house form, and social institutions, for example—attempted to identify centers of diffusion and thus used the notion of spatial proximity to explain similarities and differences between cultures. Archaeologists of the era used similar concepts to describe the distribution of material culture, and were concerned with tracing the movement of peoples or charting the origins of agriculture and the emergence of civilization. Anthropology and archaeology parted ways after 1940 in their thinking about the role of space in their fields.
