TO A MODEL BABY - ANDREW DAVID CLARKE
An indirect artificial hardware model. A model of the correlation values between
attributes within the artefact type population of British beaker pottery c. 2000­
1500 B.C. The current weakness of this and comparable cluster analysis models
of archaeological data is that no a priori models have yet been developed with
which to compare these a posteriori models for goodness of fit and evaluation.
