An Approach to Fitting Transmission Models to Seriations for Regional-Scale Analysis (2015)
At scales where individual copying events are not measurable but the regional archaeological record is rich enough to support models more detailed than phylogenies, seriation can play a unique role as a diachronic measurement tool for linking cultural transmission models to data composed of assemblages of artifact class frequencies. As a first step towards fitting cultural transmission models to regional-scale transmission scenarios, we develop a iterative deterministic seriation algorithm. We...

The Archaeological Utility of ACTUS: An Alternative Method of Contingency Table Analysis Using Simulation (2016)
Archaeologists rely heavily on contingency table analyses of count data to infer relationships between variables and proportional differences between populations. For example, archaeologists often use contingency table analyses of sample data to make inferences about inter-site variation in lithic raw material type proportions. The most common methods for making these inferences are the Chi-Square test and Fisher's Exact test. However, the former cannot be applied to small samples and the...

Fired Rifle Cartridges as an Archaeological Tool for Dating Later Historical Sites: Harrington Histograms and Measures of Central Tendency (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "On the Centennial of his Passing: San Diego County Pioneer Nathan "Nate" Harrison and the Historical Archaeology of Legend" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The wealth of qualitative and quantitative analytical techniques that have been used in researching tobacco pipestems from 16th-19thcentury sites can be employed on fired cartridges from 19thand 20th-century sites. When Harrington-style occupation...

Not Your Ordinary Models: Exploring Time and Space with Ordinal Regression and Other Methods (2015)
Advances in Archaeological Geographic Information Science and Informatics have enabled the refinement of archaeological statistics and other quantitative methods in recent years. Along the Central Savannah River of South Carolina, recent research on prehistoric site distributions and multicomponency has resulted in the development of several novel methodologies. Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) enables the examination of the environmental context of archaeological sites through time....

Uniform Probability Density Analysis and Population History in the Tewa Basin, New Mexico (2015)
One of the basic challenges facing archaeology is translating surface evidence into population estimates with sufficient chronological resolution for demographic analysis. The problem is especially acute when one is working with sites inhabited across multiple chronological periods. In this paper I present a Bayesian method that deals with this situation. This method combines uniform distributions derived from a local pottery chronology with pottery assemblage data to reconstruct the population...
