Abstract

The application of data processing techniques in the field of archaeology is relatively recent. Electronic computer research is rapidly developing equipment which has sufficient application for archaeology to render obsolete the currently employed manual systems. The prime advantage of computers is in the flexibility of data manipulation at both classificatory and analytical levels. It is the writer's opinion that such manual techniques as the Bordaz’ Inverted Data System are too limited in application for widespread utility in the field.
