Integració de mètodes quantitatius als estudis de territoriananàlisi estadística multivariant

Archaeology is not more (nor less) than a science, whose objects of study are the material consequences of human action. With the formalization of these consequences through mathematics, we fulfill to turn archaeological analysis into a historical issue wich can be answered by the archaeologist. Trying to quantify any possible data without a correct methodology is nonsense ; description is not enough. We are not trying to make Archaeology more scientific by using mathematics, but we need them because they are the only rigorous tool to formalize the variability of the archaeological material, in order to suggest the causal structure from where this variability comes. In this article we will focus on how these methods can help us with the arguments on we will base our territorial studies. Besides, we will show the large amount of information that they offer with a practical example.
