Journal of Field Archaeology, 2000Abstract It is frequently assumed that assemblages of shell from archaeological sites suffer from various types of bias that might affect interpretations of the data. Such biases potentially include both pre- and post-depositional alteration of the shell; prehistoric practices that led to nonrandom collecting; sampling and recovery methods; and ...

Recognising burnt vein quartz artefacts in archaeological assemblages
Journal of Archaeological Science, 2011Abstract The primary aims of this study were to determine how vein quartz behaves in an open wood fire and to suggest how burnt quartz may reliably be distinguished from unburnt quartz. Experimental burning was conducted on 10–50 mm pieces of knapped quartz collected from outcrops and beach cobbles near a later Mesolithic and Neolithic quartz scatter

Measuring Archaeological Diversity by Comparison with Simulated Assemblages
American Antiquity, 1984A method for measuring diversity is proposed that uses an archaeologically derived underlying frequency distribution of classes of artifacts to generate theoretical expectations for the number of different classes of items that should be found in a collection of a given total size.
