Simple models are used to explore the relationship between cluster-like configurations and highly deformed states which arise a as a result of shell effects in deformed single particle potentials for light nuclei. It is found that the systematics of the occurrence of clustering phenomena are closely related to the appearance of shell structure in these potentials. Considerable emphasis is place don the use of the pure harmonic oscillator model as a first approximation.
