"VanPool and Leonard are accomplished practitioners, and their bookis a comprehensive guide to statistical inference in archaeologywith particular emphasis upon currently popular methods. Itshould be on every archaeologist's bookshelf and will serveadmirably as a text in introductory statistics courses." Michael Shott, University of Akron "The authors' approach to the often confusing concepts ofstatistical analysis using common sense and real-worldexamples make this text an approachable and conducive way to easearchaeologists into the quantitative analysis of data." Gordon F.M. Rakita, University of North Florida An excellent book -- one that takes archaeologists with littlequantitative training by the hand and leads them througheasy-to-read discussions of an impressive array of statisticalmethods. The examples come directly from archaeology, whichstudents will appreciate. My copy will become dog-eared fromuse. Michael J. O'Brien, University of Missouri
