The increasingly mathematical, statistical and computerized analysis of archaeological data will certainly ensure that hitherto tacit and naive archaeological models will be made viable and explicit, or abandoned and replaced. These models will themselves escalate from iconic to analogue and then symbolic models of many kinds – ensuring an increasingly direct liaison with computer studies and a more powerful and general development of synthetizing axioms and principles within the discipline itself David L.

Do assemblages of similar material culture (the objects a culture has made) represent social units of some form? My early work as a graduate student focused on using systematic quantitative and statistical techniques of spatial analysis to study material culture distributions—in other words, the pattern of artifacts across a site or landscape (see my 1976 book with Clive Orton, Spatial Analysis in Archaeology. Along with others at that time, I expected there to be systematic cross-cultural relations between ‘pots’ and ‘people.’ -- Ian Hodder
