This book is designed to get people to try statistics for themselves: the most popular techniques of descriptive and inferential statistics are explained and illustrated with reference to a data set of forty bronze spearheads. The reader is then told how to manipulate the data on a computer with statistical programmes. Now reprinted with corrections.
