Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
A formal model of type change within a class of artefacts is constructed which, it is hoped, will describe such processes in many archaeological situations. The theory predicts the familiar sigmoidal curve for the rise in popularity of an artefactual type at the expense of other types fulfilling the same function. The examples used all come from one report, the 1951 survey of the Mississippi Alluvial Valley, so that comparisons of various kinds can be made. Au(abr) |
