The aim of this paper is to shine light on fundamental statistical concepts that archaeologists do not talk about enough. I argue that more deliberate discussion of these statistical ‘elephants in the room’ can have a positive impact on improving statistical training and on steering us away from perpetuation of poor research practices.

我们如何改进考古科学的统计培训？

本文的目的是阐明考古学家没有充分讨论的基本统计概念。我认为，对这些统计“房间里的大象”进行更深思熟虑的讨论，可以对改善统计训练和引导我们远离长期存在的不良研究实践产生积极影响。
