Abstract:		 Paper presenting a methodology for using significance tests developed during post-excavation analysis of a third-century AD cemetery at Brougham, Cumbria, to establish patterns in archaeological data. Examples are drawn from research by E Swift on the association of amber beads with children's burials from within the Roman Empire (in J Roman Archaeol 16 (1) (2003), pages 336--49), and from the results of the Brougham post-excavation analysis. The nature of the tests and their appropriate use are considered, and to demonstrate how the methodology works, two further examples of their application are given, drawn from a large rural Romano-British settlement site at Claydon Pike, Gloucestershire, and from the analysis of skeletal remains from the fourth-century AD cemetery at Poundbury, Dorset. It is argued that significance tests can be a useful archaeological tool in establishing data patterns that are unlikely to have come about by chance; these patterns can then be evaluated in relation to the wider archaeological context.
