Statistics in archaeological social network analysis

Abstract

Methods from Social Network Analysis are frequently used to assess social relationships in prehistoric times. Archaeological data are primarily stochastic by nature and subject to interpretation - this is not in line with the methods of Social Network Analysis. This paper examines the concrete problems and suggests a method to deal with stochastic data in such analysis, thus allowing archaeological investigation. We suggest a "stability" measurement that allows assessing the "quality" of a Social Network Analysis - this is a novum for this type of analysis and allows archaeologists or sociologists to reason over the likelihood that a specific interpretation is correct.
