Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Photographs of thirty EIA brooches (nearly all La Tène examples from Münsingen Switzerland) were shown to four archaeologists and an anatomist, whose intuitive classifications demonstrated the difficulties of the method. Each brooch was then scored according to the presence, absence or inapplicability of a series of attributes. The degree of similarity between each possible pair of brooches was then calculated and analysed by a numerical taxonomy computer program. A study of 109 brooches (including a few "rogues"), according to the similarity of any one brooch to any one of a cluster of generally similar brooches, gave poor results in terms of the likely time sequence; but an analysis of seventy-two brooches according to their average similarity with all members of a cluster was more successful. The original sample was also analysed as a two- or one-dimensional diagram, adjusted for least distortion. This method was also applied to sixteen Mousterian assemblages (Bordes), and a possible chronological, as well as cultural, sequence obtained. D F F | |||
