The culture-area concept has some limitations which have been overlooked by recent sociologists in employing the methodology which has been built around this concept. The chief limitation that is inherent in the concept is the one of spatial contiguity. The present article attempts to show a way in which the culture-type concept of the anthropologist can be combined with the culture-area concept and together be of more value in sociological research problems
