Some Archaeological Applications of Kernel Density Estimates
TL;DR: The methodology can be used as an informal approach to spatial cluster analysis, and one example suggests that it is competetitive with other approaches in this area.

Log-ratio compositional data analysis in archaeometry*

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a review of the debate about the appropriate way to analyse archaeological data statistically, which amounts to argument about how the data should be transformed prior to statistical analysis, and demonstrate that what has been proposed as the 'correct' theoretical approach-log-ratio analysis-does not always work well.
