Preliminary Analysis of Stone Tool Distributions and Activity Zonation at Anangula, an 8500 B. P. Coastal Village in the Aleutian Islands, Alaska

Preliminary Analysis of Stone Tool Distributions and Activity Zonation at Anangula, an 8500 B. P. Coastal Village in the Aleutian Islands, Alaska

The large number of Anangula artifacts, some 30,000 items from the 1970 excavations alone, prohibit manual manipulation and plotting in order to view the clusterings and/or scatter of tools and debris. We invested in a computer-assisted analysis using statistical manipulations in order to reveal the...

We invested in a computer-assisted analysis using statistical manipulations in order to reveal the patterning of the artifacts.
