This paper presents results of recent analysis of settlement patterns in the Vezere valley (Dordogne, France). Concentrating on the Final Magdalenian, it shows that patterning observed is a function not only of the topographic setting of sites but also of their socioeconomic context. Adoption of the Rank Size Rule as an analytical tool highlights the potential relationship between sites which, on initial examination, appear to be unrelated. It allows us, on the basis of size, to divide sites into three main categories: large, medium and small, each of which was important to the Magdalenian hunter. When associated assemblage data (faunal, lithic, etc.) are considered some indication of the role of these sites is obtained. Keywords: Magdelenian VIVezere valleyRank Size RuleLa Madeleine
