This volume presents four techniques of multivariate analysis commonly
used by archaeologists (principal component analysis, correspondence
analysis, cluster analysis, and discriminant analysis). Employing
"ordinary language" and real data sets, and including extensive
literature reviews, the book illustrates how these statistical
techniques can be applied to specific archaeological questions. A new
introduction by the author updates his discussion in light of subsequent
developments in the field of quantitative archaeology. Originally
published by Edinburgh University Press in 1994.
