Notes:  Using statistical and quantitative techniques in archaeology.  “The distribution map has long been a basic interpretative tool of the archaeologist in investigating patterns of trade, diffusion and culture.  But the older techniques of interpretation ‘by inspection’ can now be made much more powerful and more rigorous; at the same time interest has turned from the examination of sites and artifacts as ‘things’ to the spatial relationships between such things, their relationships to one another and to landscape features, soils and other resources.”  (From the Preface)
