近年来统计分析、数量分类等数学方法愈益普遍地应用于解决考古学研究中的器物分类、考古文化或墓葬的相对年代等问题。《史前研究》1984年第1期发表了朱乃诚同志用古典概率概念判断史家墓地墓葬相对年代次序的论丈(以下简称“朱文”)~①。这是考古研究中应用数学方法的有益探索。本文尝试借用多元分析中的聚类方法,也以史家墓地为例,判断各墓葬间的相对年代关系。张忠培同志曾直观地根据部分墓葬间的叠压、打破关系,逐组 In recent years, mathematical methods such as statistical analysis and quantitative classification are increasingly used to solve the problems of archeological classification, archeological culture or the relative age of tombs. “Prehistory Study” 1984 the first issue of Comrade Zhu Naicheng use of the concept of classical probability to determine the history of graves graves relative order of the theory (hereinafter referred to as “Zhu Wen”) ~ ①. This is a useful exploration of the application of mathematical methods in archeological research. This article tries to borrow the method of clustering in multivariate analysis and takes the historian cemetery as an example to judge the relative chronological relationship between tombs. Comrade Zhang Zhongpei has intuitively broken down the relations according to the overlapping pressure among some tombs, one by one
