Contents:

Front Matter -- Quantifying Archaeology -- Data -- Characterizing Data Visually -- Characterizing Data Numerically: Descriptive Statistics -- An Introduction to Probability -- Putting Statistics to Work: The Normal Distribution -- Hypothesis Testing I: An Introduction -- Hypothesis Testing II: Confidence Limits, the t-Distribution, and One-Tailed Tests -- Hypothesis Testing III: Power -- Analysis of Variance and the F-Distribution -- Linear Regression and Multivariate Analysis -- Correlation -- Analysis of Frequencies -- An Abbreviated Introduction to Nonparametric and Multivariate Analysis -- Factor Analysis and Principal Component Analysis -- Sampling, Research Designs, and the Archaeological Record -- References -- Appendix A: Areas under a Standardized Normal Distribution -- Appendix B: Critical Values for the Student's t-Distribution -- Appendix C: Critical Values for the F-Distribution -- Appendix D: Critical Values for the Chi-Square Distribution -- Appendix E: Critical Values for the Wilcoxon Two-Sample U-Test.

Summary: This text is an ideal introduction to the use of quantitative methods in archaeology. Statistical techniques are presented in a clear and straightforward manner throughout, and the careful balance between introduction of key concepts and their application to archaeological data is perfectly suited for both students and professionals in the field.
