| This is useful for calculating a correct frequency in time-based series, because archaeological classes of objects can have long-time spans. The simplistic use of the central date of the timespan can give very different results when you want to obtain a time distribution for a class of artefacts. | This is useful for calculating a correct frequency in time-based series, because archaeological classes of objects can have long-time spans.

| - | The method has been used to obtain significative distributions of frequency for data coming from the catalogue //Ancient Shipwrecks of the Mediterranean// by A.J. Parker. The author gives some distribution graph, but he's using central dates from ceramic assemblages rather than a weighted mean of each shipwreck's time range. | + | The method has been used to obtain significative distributions of frequency for data coming from the catalogue //Ancient Shipwrecks of the Mediterranean// by A.J.

| {{ parkercomparison.png?300|Comparison between the two methods}}Comparison between the "simple" method using central date and the more sophisticated one based on the sum of individual weighted means. The difference is remarkable. | {{ parkercomparison.png?300|Comparison between the two methods}}Comparison between the "simple" method using central date and the more sophisticated one based on the sum of individual weighted means.
