Review # 1 was written on 2007-10-16 00:00:00 Henry Reynolds Good introduction to statistics for the archaeologist. However, since the book is supposed to be a quick glance of what tools can be used by archaeologists, there comes a time that the non specialist, or student, (or at least me!) gets confused if he/she reads it without the proper guidance. I had already taken a couple of statistic courses, and must admit that I was pretty lost from chapter 10 to 13. It helped me to refresh some knowledge, gain some more and be aware of the debate around the use of some techniques in the specific field of archaeology. I read the Spanish translation of the book, entitled: Arqueología Cuantitativa, 1992, editorial Crítica, Barcelona.

Review # 2 was written on 2010-02-04 00:00:00 Michael Saam Required reading for a class, and very informative. The style is dry as Shennan tackles the rather complex subject of statistics in archaeology. I borrowed this book for the term, but will be purchasing it if I decide to take more archaeology classes.
