Description:

This book explores the processes through which archaeologists analyze data and describes how these techniques can be made more rigorous and effective by sound statistical modelling. It introduces and analyzes the ideas underlying the Bayesian approach to the statistical analysis of data and provides an examination of the theoretical and practical consequences of the use of Bayesian analysis in examining problems in archaeology.
