Content:
"In Seriation, Stratigraphy, and Index Fossils the authors discuss the method of typological cross dating and why it measures time discontinuously. They provide detailed descriptions and examples of each of the three techniques of seriation, noting that two of these techniques measure time, and thus cultural change, as a continuum." "Each method and technique of relative dating is placed in historical perspective, with particular focus on developments in North America. This approach allows a more complete understanding of the methods described, both in terms of analytical technique and disciplinary history. The text will appeal to all archaeologists, from graduate students to seasoned professionals."--BOOK JACKET.
