This article emphasizes the utility of probability sampling techniques in archaeological research design. The problems inherent in casual sampling methods are discussed and the point is stressed that valid statistical inferences can only be made using unbiased data. Two methods of eliminating bias, simple random sampling and stratified sampling are described and two examples are put forward to illustrate their use
