To summarize the results of the experiments, it can be concluded that computer aided analysis is worth conducting in the case of those groups of findings which have a standard feature decisive from the point of view of type determination. In such a case the above method can be used to aid the archeologist in determining new types [2]. Notes 1. In the computer analysis I have made use of the experiences of Professor F.R. Hodson who used the same analysis combination. Hodson, F.R. - Sneath, P.H. - Doran, J. E.: "Some experiments in the numerical analysis of archeological data."
