This paper presents a description and interpretation of the similarities of the precontact technologies (represented by 172 technological variables) of twenty-eight Indian groups on the Northwest Coast of North America. It is shown that relative proximity will "account for" much of the overall pattern of technological similarities as revealed by a Smallest Space Analysis of the matrix of similarity coefficients of the twenty-eight groups.
