Location modeling, both inductive and deductive, is widely used in archaeology to predict
or investigate the spatial distribution of sites. The commonality among these approaches is their
consideration of only spatial effects of the first order (i.e., the interaction of the locations with the
site characteristics). Second-order effects (i.e., the interaction of locations with each other) are rarely
considered. We introduce a deductive approach to investigating such second-order effects using
linguistic hypotheses about settling behavior in the Final Palaeolithic. A Poisson process was used to
simulate a point distribution using expert knowledge of two distinct hunter–gatherer groups, namely,
reindeer hunters and elk hunters. The modeled points and point densities were compared with the
actual finds. The G-, F-, and K-function, which allow for the identification of second-order effects
of varying intensity for different periods, were applied. The results reveal differences between the
two investigated groups, with the reindeer hunters showing location-related interaction patterns,
indicating a spatial memory of the preferred locations over an extended period of time. Overall, this
paper shows that second-order effects occur in the geographical modeling of archaeological finds and
should be taken into account by using approaches such as the one presented in this paper
