Dear all,

during our meeting we discussed re-doing some of Keith Kintigh's Tools For Quantitative Archaeology (TFQA) program in R. We decided on focusing on the spatial analysis and diversity analysis topics for now. Joe created some issues in the Github to organise the process: https://github.com/sslarch/tfqar/milestone/1 , please have a look!

Jim send me the TFQA documentation and the 1990 publication publication that describes many of the spatial analysis methods included in TFQA, which I’ve attached .

 

Also, here are references for the diversity analyses:

 

Kintigh, Keith W.

1984 Measuring Archaeological Diversity by Comparison with Simulated Assemblages. American Antiquity 49: 44-54.

              

1989 Sample Size, Significance, and Measures of Diversity. In Quantifying Diversity in Archaeology, edited by Robert D. Leonard and George T. Jones. Cambridge University Press.

Please check out the list of functions and see, if you know an R equivalent or would be interested in seeing this function re-activated. I did not know this program before, but it really looks like a collection of very useful functions, which I probably will want to employ at some point, now that I know of them.

Best wishes,

Sophie

Here is one more thing that might be interesting. It is a conference paper by Wes Bernardini from a 2019 SAA session organized in honor of Keith Kintigh. Because it is a conference paper it is written informally and not particularly detailed, but I think he has some valid insights into the philosophy behind the TFQA applications. The slides are in a separate file.

Dear all,

our next meeting will take place on 5th June, at 5 pm CEST as usual.

We will have time for an open exchange and then Nicolas Frerebeau will present the tesselle-project (https://www.tesselle.org/) to us. Have a look, it's a pretty cool endeavour! Also I think this topic fits very well to our project of reviving parts of Keith Kintighs Tools For Quantitative Archaeology. Please remember to check our Github issues on the topic and contribute your ideas: https://github.com/sslarch/tfqar/milestone/1 .

Here is the zoom-invite for our meeting on Wednesday:
