It is little secret that most archaeologists are uneasy with
statistics. Thankfully, in the modern world, quantitative analysis
has been made immensely easier by statistical software packages.
Software now does virtually all our statistical calculations,
removing a great burden for researchers. At the same time, since
most statistical analysis now takes place through the pushing of
buttons in software packages, new problems and dangers have
emerged. How does one know which statistical test to use? How can
one tell if certain data violate the assumptions of a particular
statistical analysis? Rather than focusing on the mathematics of
calculation, this concise handbook selects appropriate forms of
analysis and explains the assumptions that underlie them. It deals
with fundamental issues, such as what kinds of data are common in
the field of archaeology and what are the goals of various forms of
analysis. This accessible textbook lends a refreshing playfulness
to an often-humorless subject and will be enjoyed by students and
professionals alike.
