This estimation is based on a seriation of the scarabs dating to the second intermediate period.
12.
Seriation represents an evolutionary lineage connected by cultural transmission when artifacts show gradual, and coincidental change.
13.
In 2003, Groenen and Poblome adapted the correspondence analysis algorithm to combine seriation with absolute dates and stratigraphic relationships.
14.
The correspondence analysis results shown in the figures below were calculated on the basis of 49 contexts with ideal seriation data.
15.
He published important methodological papers on seriation ( a quantitative method for determining the chronology of sites and artifacts ) and on artifact classification.
16.
In this sense, a child is improving upon a certain cognitive function, such as seriation tasks, as he or she ages.
17.
Contextual seriation is often used for reconstructing the chronological sequence of graves as only the presence or absence of a design style or type is important.
18.
Shennan ( 1997, p . 343 ) presents a seriation result of Danish hoards based on artefact types like daggers, axes, and swords.
19.
They argue that by employing seriation methods to the archaeological record they can reconstruct the evolutionary lineages of artifacts ( O Brien and Lyman 2000 ).
20.
Two different variants of seriation have been applied : contextual seriation and frequency seriation ( Renfrew and Bahn 1996, pp . 116 & ndash; 117 ).
