We show that the book has all the characteristics of 'cult archaeology', resurrectin... Read More about The Indian connection: an assessment of Hromnik's' Indo-Africa'.

Quantifying trends in site location with multidimensional scaling (1982)
Journal Article

In this paper, I consider some of the problems of quantifying locational trends in archaeology. A review of the methods available reveals that techniques may either be limited to situations where a considerable knowledge of the nature of the site, or...
