Quantitative Archaeology in Roman Contexts. Some practical examples

Numbers are rarely used in archaeological studies about classical periods (i.e. Greek and Roman ages). In this talk I'll present the application of quantitative methods in excavations and researches concerning roman imperial period in the North of Italy. Through some practical examples, several techniques of statistical analysis (descriptive, multivariate, circular statistics; spatial analyses; morphometrics; etc.) will be showed and their partial or final results will be discussed.
