Abstract

This article discusses the use of statistical methods for systematising 96 archaeological ship finds, mainly from the southern and south-eastern coast of Norway. It draws on an article published in 2009 by Jan Bill, where he did a similar investigation of material from the Danish area. The method of multiple correspondence analysis (MCA) provides a way to summarise categorical data in a reduced number of dimensions. The results are presented in a geographical space, a plot, that can be used for making interpretations and assumptions of cohesions and divergences in the material. It is a way of analysing continuity and change in boatbuilding techniques that avoids using arbitrary and ambiguous concepts of historical (ship) types. Instead, the building techniques, the ways of ‘doing things’, make the premises for classification. The results in this article can be considered preliminary, its primary function being a discussion on methodology.
创造秩序还是揭示混乱?使用多重对应分析(MCA)研究挪威(公元 1050-1700 年)考古船发现的一些初步结果
本文讨论了使用统计方法对主要来自挪威南部和东南海岸的96件考古船舶发现进行系统整理的情况。文章借鉴了扬-比尔(Jan Bill)2009 年发表的一篇文章,他对丹麦地区的材料进行了类似的调查。多重对应分析(MCA)方法提供了一种以较少维度总结分类数据的方法。分析结果在一个地理空间(图)中呈现,可用于解释和假设材料中的一致性和差异性。这是一种分析造船技术连续性和变化的方法,避免了使用武断和模糊的历史(船舶)类型概念。相反,造船技术、"做事 "的方式为分类提供了前提。本文的结果可视为初步结果,其主要功能是讨论方法。

期刊介绍: Acta Archaeologica, founded in 1930, is the leading scientific international archaeological periodical in Scandinavia. Acta Archaeologica is published annually and contains 200 to 250 large pages, beautifully illustrated. The papers are in English, German, French, or Italian, well-edited, and of lasting value. Acta Archaeologica covers the archaeology of Scandinavia, including the North Atlantic, until about 1500 AD. At the same time, Acta Archaeologica is underscoring the position of Northern Europe in its wider continental context. Mediterranean (and Near Eastern) archaeology plays a particular role. Contributions from arctic, maritime and other branches of archaeology, as well as from other continents, are included.
