Т.Е. Rihll and A.G. Wilson. Spatial Interaction and Structural Models in Historical Analysis: Some Possibilities and an Example. Heightened awareness of the importance of the spatial dimension in historical societies, which is evident in recent publications, can be complemented by the employment of more sophisticated methods of spatial analysis. After a brief retrospect of methods and models, a general spatial interaction and location model is presented, with particular attention paid to presenting the mathematics as simply as possible by using an illustration which can easily be related to everyday experience -the workings of a retail system. This general model can be adapted to suit the requirements of a particular nistorical society: Ancient Greece, in the example here. The results of such analysis of Ancient Greece poleis are presented and discussed, and the value of undertaking the analysis is assessed
