Detrended Correspondence Analysis in Environmental Archaeology

Simulation, Seriation and the Dating of Roman Republican Coins
Seriation was one of the earliest applications of computers to an archaeological problem. Despite the origins of the technique in numismatics, the vast majority of coinage studies manually sequence coin hoards and issues. For many periods, the coin designs or legends can be used to provide a date. For the Republican series, however, detailed sequences rely on the use of coin hoard data. In recent years, Correspondence Analysis has become the de f…
The Later Prehistory of the Shahrizor Plain, Kurdistan Region of Iraq
The Shahrizor Prehistory Project has targeted prehistoric levels of the Late Ubaid and Late Chalcolithic 4 (LC4; Late Middle Uruk) periods at Gurga Chiya (Shahrizor, Kurdistan region of northern Iraq), along with the Halaf period at the adjacent site of Tepe Marani. Excavations at the latter have produced new dietary and environmental data for the sixth millennium B.C. in the region, while at Gurga Chiya part of a burned Late Ubaid tripartite hou…
Under the Park. Recent Geophysical Surveys at Verulamium (St Albans, Hertfordshire, UK)
This paper presents the first results of the geophysical surveys – principally a large scale gradiometer survey – of Verulamium Park, St Albans, Hertfordshire, UK, under which lies approximately half of the Roman city. Verulamium was the third largest Roman city in the province of Britannia – covering some 81 ha – and the largest which is currently available for survey. Approximately 65 ha lies under parkland or pasture. The 30 ha available under…
Texts in the landscape
here are at least 1200 stone monuments known fr om the Celtic-speaking regions of north west Europe (Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Brittany, the Isle of Man, and parts of western England) which were inscribed with text during the early middle ages (c. AD 400-1 100). They were created mostly for funerary, commemorative and legal purposes, in both the Celtic vernac ulars and Latin, using either the Roman or Irish ogham alphabets,1 with occasionally bot…
At the edge of empires
The Roman fortress of Noviodunum on the lower Danube guarded the border of both the Roman and the Byzantine empire against barbaricum – the lands of the so-called barbarians – to the north and east. In a new collaborative project, Romanian archaeologists and colleagues from the Institute of Archaeology and the universities of Cambridge and Southampton are beginning to investigate both the site and its relationship with its hinterland and the wide…
Applying bootstrapped Correspondence Analysis to archaeological data
Dating Coins, Dating With Coins
This paper addresses the issue of how coins are dated, and how coins are then used to provide dates on archaeological excavations. Using examples from Roman archaeology, the author examines how patterns of manufacture, supply, loss and retrieval can impact on the value of those dates. The need to examine coin finds within their stratigraphic context is emphasized, as well as the need for the archaeological numismatist and the excavator to collabo…
Rome and Byzantium on the Danube
The fortress of Noviodunum on the lower Danube guarded the border of both the Roman and the Byzantine empires. The Noviodunum Archaeological Project, based in the Institute of Archaeology, is an international collaborative project with the primary aim of investigating the changing economic relations between the fortress, its hinterland and the wider Mediterranean world. The project began in 2000 and the final season of fieldwork will take place i…

Site Finds in Roman Britain
This paper compares Reece’s (1995b) method for the comparison of coin lists, outlined in his paper Site Finds in Roman Britain , with two more formal statistical methods: Dmax‐based Cluster Analysis and Correspondence Analysis. Reece’s data from Roman Coins from 140 sites in Britain (1991b) are re‐analysed, the various methods compared, and some preliminary patterns identified
