Kris, et al.
As I recall, the Brits used central place theory for analyzing settlement patterning for several periods...I'm thinking Hodder and Orton in the 1970s. It also shows up in the gray literature and, I suspect, more than a few master's theses.

Hi Kris -

While not discussed in quite so many words,  William T. Langhorne's 1976 article on "mill-based" settlement patterns in Schoharie County, New York, applies central place concepts borrowed via prehistoric settlement patterns research.  It was in HA volume 10:73-92.

Hello all:

Does anybody happen to know if anybody has ever applied
Christaller's Central Place Theory to historic archaeology? I know
I've seen about twenty articles on prehistoric settlement
patterns, but I don't have any in historic archaeology.
