Novel Statistical Techniques in Archaeology II (QUANTARCH II)
Part of: Society for American Archaeology 84th Annual Meeting, Albuquerque, NM (2019)
This collection contains the abstracts of the papers presented in the session entitled "Novel Statistical Techniques in Archaeology II (QUANTARCH II)," at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.
Statistical data modeling is fundamental to archaeological inquiry. This type of modeling is
applicable to all research questions, and serves to evaluate how well archaeological observations
support theoretical expectations. Pioneering archaeological questions, however, are not always
answerable with standard techniques - requiring development of innovative modeling methods. The
purpose of this symposium is to exhibit the range of cutting-edge analytical techniques advanced to
evaluate novel archaeological hypotheses. Symposium participants answer groundbreaking
archaeological hypotheses regarding cultural variability by developing or adapting a wide range of
analytical modeling methods derived from computational, mathematical, spatial, statistical, and
graphical approaches. (This topic spans two poster symposia)
