The Place of Chronological Ordering in Archaeological Analysis
The Archaeological Ceramics of Yucatan
Changing Living Patterns of the Yucatan Maya
The purpose of this paper is to review the archaeological data on the settlement patterns of the Yucatan Maya with a view to reconstructing the history of their changing way of life.There is little evidence that the population density of the lowland Maya during their cultural heyday was substantially greater than that of the modern State of Yucatan, about 30 persons per square mile

A Re-Examination of the Dating Evidence for the Lake Mohave Artifact Assemblage
The dating of the Lake Mohave artifact assemblage relative to the fossil beaches on which the material was found has been in dispute since Malcolm Rogers (1939) published a monograph disagreeing with several findings given in the original report (Campbells, Antevs, Amsden and Bode, 1937). Mr. Rogers' critique was never answered by the original authors, and his findings have been accepted consequently by most authors who have attempted summaries o…
Robinson's Coefficient of Agreement – A Rejoinder
In a recent issue of this journal (Vol. 17, p. 151) Donald J. Lehmer protests against the coefficient of agreement used by W. S. Robinson in his paper on “A Method for Chronologically Ordering Archaeological Deposits” ( American Antiquity , Vol. 16, pp. 293-301). Lehmer's objection to the coefficient ...lies in the fact that it takes no account of differences in the size of the collections. Every sherd collection must be regarded as a sample repr…

The Place of Chronological Ordering in Archaeological Analysis
The article which precedes this one describes a statistical technique for the chronological placement of archaeological artifact collections. The purposes of this paper are first to describe the rationale of archaeological analysis under which the data and problem as presented to Robinson were formulated, and upon which the validity of his solution therefore depends, and second to describe analytic and interpretive work which I have based upon hi…

Symmetry in Primitive Conventional Design
Although the conventional design appearing on aboriginal American ceramics has been used successfully as a diagnostic feature in archaeological pottery classification, there has been little analytical and comparative work done on this mass of material. Much of the design, despite the simplicity and wide distribution of its elements, is complicated and richly variable. This apparent complexity has been a stumbling clock in the way of its study.The…
