Intro to Archaeology
Systematic sampling is a method used in archaeological excavation where researchers select samples at regular intervals from a larger population. This approach helps in obtaining a representative subset of data while reducing bias, making it easier to analyze patterns or trends within the site being studied. It’s particularly useful for organizing excavation strategies, ensuring that the selected areas reflect the overall characteristics of the archaeological context.
