Abstract

We believe that it is instructive and timely to revisit themes that David L. Clarke (1968) raised in Analytical Archaeology. Here, we examine the extent to which they are being pursued by the contributors of this volume in the context of Palaeolithic studies. In highlighting certain Clarkeian trends, we discuss four themes: (1) hypothesis testing and formal analysis, (2) quantification and inferential statistical analysis, (3) models, (4) cultural transmission and lineages of artefactual traditions and (5) morphometrics.
