AB When discussing the presence of a Near Eastern component in the Egyptian Nile Delta, a simple description of the archaeologicalmaterial will not provide the necessary answers. Traditional culture-historical approaches have occupied a considerable amount of thebibliography dedicated to ancient population studies. Cultural, social, and economic traits have been derived from studies of pottery,sculpture, and personal objects, as well as funerary practices and domestic structures; such characteristics were made to relate withspecific population groups and geographical areas. The inclusion of quantitative procedures to analyse space is conceived here as aheuristic tool. It allows for a surpassing of formalistic approaches to settlement patterns, incorporating an evaluation of the strategiesin the use of space. The inclusion of a “spatial turn” in the form of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and Urban Syntax can helpin the identification of patterns of use and social clustering in space. Daily interaction occurs in public and private spaces, and it is atthis level that some of the forces that drive ethnogenesis–and myriad identities–might be located.
