Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Rank-size analysis of settlement systems in archaeology has focused on departures from log-normality, but it is not clear that a log-normal pattern should ordinarily be expected. The authors argue that direct comparison of observed rank-size curves to each other is of greater utility in identifying chronological change and inter-regional variation in settlement dynamics as reflected in rank-size patterns. A coefficient of shape is proposed to facilitate comparison and to serve as a basis for bootstrap assessment of statistical confidence in any differences that are observed. The approach is illustrated with analysis of archaeological settlement data from sites in different regions of the world. \r\nAuthor Keywords: Author Keywords: Rank-size analysis; Significance testing; Settlement patterns; | |||||||||
