Synopsis
A full coverage of the possible applications of statistical approaches to material scatters within mainly gatherer-hunter assemblages. Blankholm attempts to leven the content with a useful review of the history and aims of intrasite analysis, but the core of the book are two chapters covering relevant statistics and simulation studies. A useful feature is a fully worked example of application to the archaeological data from Mesolithic Barmose, in South Zealand; backed up by included overlays. Appendix B is a guide to the operation of the computer package, Arcospace 2.0. Dense, but written with an awareness of the reader's and practitioner's problems.
