Summary A variety of simple techniques based upon the distribution, location and siting of Shetland's brochs, when used in conjunction with data from excavated sites, allows a partial reconstruction of the forces behind the observed patterns of broch-period settlement. The various spatial influences are examined at a number of scales, and the results used to construct a model of settlement location in relation to the physical environment. The process of model-formation demonstrates the potential of fieldwork as a source of illumination where excavation evidence is scanty.
