Use of the Cumulative Graph in Temporal Ordering
Arthur J. Jelinek · American Antiquity · 1962
Abstract A cumulative graph which shows percentages of artifact types in assemblages is a useful tool for seriating large numbers of site samples when the chronological order of the appearance of types is known. This type of seriation has a distinct advantage over the bar-graph and Brainerd-Robinson techniques in speed and in the elimination of subjective judgment in ordering the assemblages.
