Over the weekend, I finally found a few hours to sit down with the relatively recent edited volume Quantifying the Roman Economy: Methods and Problems edited by A. Bowman and A.
The Archaeology of the Mediterranean World: Archaeology
Pseudo-archaeologists claim that revolutionary new theories abound within the garish covers of their books. Meanwhile, mainstream archaeology trundles along as usual, with archaeologists continually re-assessing their data and refining their interpretations as a result (sometimes in fundamental and radical ways). Such self-critical evolution is non-existent within the realm of the self-styled revolutionaries of pseudo-archaeology. Archaeologists evolve while the cranks just revolve.

"I just don't get statistics," Katie said plaintively.
Computational archaeology
Computational archaeology describes computer-based analytical methods for the study of long-term human behaviour and behavioural evolution.Book Description Publication Date: 25 Mar 2010 | ISBN-10: 1441960716 | ISBN-13: 978-1441960719 | Edition: 2nd ed. 2010 In the decade since its publication, the first edition of Statistics for Archaeologists has become a staple in the classroom. Taking a jargon-free approach, this teaching tool introduces the basic principles of statistics to archaeologists. The author covers the necessary techniques for analyzing data collected in the field and laboratory as well as for evaluating the significance of the relationships between variables. In addition, chapters discuss the special concerns of working with samples.

John Tukey
In statistics , exploratory data analysis (EDA) is an approach to analyzing data sets to summarize their main characteristics in easy-to-understand form, often with visual graphs, without using a statistical model or having formulated a hypothesis . Exploratory data analysis was promoted by John Tukey to encourage statisticians visually to examine their data sets, to formulate hypotheses that could be tested on new data-sets. Tukey's championing of EDA encouraged the development of statistical computing packages, especially S at Bell Labs .
