商品描述
This volume is designed as a 12-lecture textbook, which can serve as a course companion, self teaching guide and handbook for basic concepts. Each lecture comprises 20 pages, in which the methods are introduced, examples shown and the code is given. All examples are computed with open source software, mainly R, and with archaeological data available from the book's website.
The book does not describe elaborated high-end models but rather very basic modelling concepts that serve as components in more complex models. The book enables the reader to construct such models by themselves and be sensitive for certain problems. In addition it gives hints for the interpretation of the results.
Students are usually quick to apply fancy methods yet fail in the proper interpretation due to a lack of understanding of the underlying principles. This problem is addressed by the proposed book through three concepts:
1. Command line software forces the students to first learn some details before they are able to produce results on their own.
The volume attempts to be an applied, minimalistic and efficient textbook and is based upon several successful courses.

2. The book is focused on principles and methods. When the students understand a few basic principles, they have far better access to a wide range of related methods.
3. Examples of poor analysis highlight common pitfalls.

商品描述(中文翻譯)
本書設計為一本包含12堂課的教科書，可以作為課程伴侶、自學指南和基本概念的手冊。每堂課包含20頁，介紹方法、展示範例並提供程式碼。所有範例均使用開源軟體計算，主要是R，並使用書籍網站上提供的考古數據。
本書並不描述複雜的高端模型，而是非常基本的建模概念，這些概念可作為更複雜模型的組成部分。本書使讀者能夠自行構建這些模型，並對某些問題保持敏感。此外，書中還提供了對結果解釋的提示。
學生通常會迅速應用華麗的方法，但由於缺乏對基本原則的理解，往往無法正確解釋結果。本書通過三個概念來解決這個問題：
1. 命令行軟體迫使學生首先學習一些細節，然後才能獨立產生結果。
2. 本書專注於原則和方法。當學生理解幾個基本原則時，他們能更好地接觸到各種相關方法。
3. 不良分析的範例突顯了常見的陷阱。
本書旨在成為一本應用性強、簡約且高效的教科書，並基於幾個成功的課程。
