摘要

对古代城市的实证研究必须将社区分解为其组成部分,但由于挖掘出的住宅结构的稀有性,常常遇到困难(例如Kramer 1982, 673)。我在考古文献中介绍了熵估计统计bootstrap (EESB),这是DeDeo等人(2013年)在信息论和计算社会科学中开发的一种工具,它提供了一种方法来评估一个小数据集对父母群体的代表性,根据一些有用的类型化进行分类。这种方法可以用来决定什么时候小数据集可以为我们的考古定居点定量研究增加更多的细节,或者什么时候它们需要被拒绝,因为它们太小了。然后,我通过检查房屋形式的分布来计算古希腊城市Metapontum的家庭特征,说明了它在城市人口统计学背景下的用途。未来的应用将包括建立更大的城市数据集,以每个社区的具体证据为经验基础,促进城市规模等研究项目的工作。

More Real Than Ideal: Household and Community Diversity at Metapontum, South Italy
Empirical studies of ancient cities must break down communities into their component parts, but frequently encounter difficulty with the scarcity of excavated domestic structures (e.g. Kramer 1982, 673). I introduce to the archaeological literature the entropy estimating statistical bootstrap (EESB), a tool developed in information theory and computational social science by DeDeo et al. (2013) which provides a way to assess how representative a small dataset is of a parent population, categorized according to some useful typology. This method can be used to decide when small datasets can add further detail to our quantitative studies of archaeological settlements or when they need to be rejected as too small. I then illustrate its uses within the context of urban demography by examining the distribution of house forms to calculate household characteristics specific to Metapontum, an ancient Greek city. Future applications will include building larger urban datasets that are empirically grounded in the specific evidence for each community, facilitating the work of research programs such as urban scaling.
