In this paper we survey the development of the use of quantitative methods in American archaeology, using for our guidance the contents of American Antiquity since its first publication in 1935. We conclude that the utility of ‘Confirmatory Data Analysis’ has been much overrated in archaeology, and suggest that the alternative technique of ‘Exploratory Data Analysis’, developed by Tukey and others, may be greatly preferable.
