| dc.description | We have attempted to produce a book that will appeal to all generations of archaeologists, from graduate students to seasoned professionals. Our desire to bridge the gap in expertise necessitated careful consideration of what to include and what to leave out. The danger in such an exercise is that one group will perhaps want to see more historical discussion, whereas another will be more interested in how relative-dating methods are used today, if indeed they are. Many of the case examples that we use to highlight the methods come from the culture historical period. It is easy to find modern examples of stratigraphy, since stratigraphic observation is still at the center of what archaeologists do, and is relatively easy to do for cross correlation given that many archaeological types have become index fossils, but it is difficult to find modem examples of seriation. Several modem studies make it sound as if this method still plays a significant role in Americanist archaeology, only because the term seriation now includes a variety of techniques and methods that are but remotely related to what seriation was early in the twentieth century | - |
