Abstract
The use of partial scalogram analysis is suggested as an alternative to Harris matrix analysis for the phasing of complexly stratified sites. This paper contains a formal mathematical presentation of the partial order scalogram analysis of relations (POSAR) model. Two algorithms for obtaining optimal solutions to the POSAR problem-steepest descent and stimulated annealing—are compared, and several computational and Archaeological problems pertaining to the mathematical modelling of stratigraphic analysis are discussed.
