Undergraduate / Graduate

This course introduces the basic statistical methodologies used across a wide range of disciplines, with an emphasis on bivariate analysis standard in the social sciences. At the same time, the fragmentary nature of data recovered from archaeological sites and biological anthropology means that quantifying ancient human activities raises distinct challenges, requiring a more critical engagement with conventional statistical approaches. The course is designed for students seeking a solid grounding in statistical reasoning as well as those interested in developing robust research designs in archaeology and bioarchaeology.
