| Popis | The aim of this article is to demonstrate the use of multivariate analysis of ceramics to verify the chronology of the 'Sutny' Linearbandkeramik culture (LBK) settlement at Těšetice-Kyjovice, in the Znojmo district of Moravia, Czech Republic. In this article we present the results obtained from the ceramics that have been processed to date. Based on this analysis we dated the settlement to approximately the Ib-IIa phase of the Moravian LBK. A new method for processing Moravian LBK ceramics is suggested, along with a proposed descriptive system, as a formalized description is very important to subsequent statistical evaluation. We introduce several statistical analyses suitable for the evaluation of ceramic assemblages and demonstrate the application of other methods of analysis and possible alternatives for archaeological data visualization. For this purpose we used the 'R' open statistical software package. We hope that this article will contribute to the development of a unified method of processing Moravian LBK ceramics, demonstrate new possibilities for evaluating archaeological data, and simplify its interpretation. |
