Statistics for Anthropology

Anthropology students increasingly need a quantitative background, but statistics are often seen as difficult and impenetrable.

Statistics for Anthropology offers students of anthropology and other social sciences an easy, step-by-step route through the statistical maze.

In clear, simple language, using relevant examples and practice problems, it provides a solid footing in basic statistical techniques, and is designed to give students a thorough grounding in methodology, and also insight into how and when to apply the various processes.

The book assumes a minimal background in mathematics, and is suitable for the computer-literate and illiterate.

Although only a hand calculator is needed, computer statistical software can be used to accompany the text.

This book will be a 'must-have' for all anthropology and social science students needing an introduction to basic statistics.
