seriation applet

 

Artifact Types

Sites

Click on sites to interchange

The purpose of this Java program is to allow you to try your hand at determining the proper chronological order the sites should be in according to their seriation. The width of the column indicates how popular the artifact type was in that site. When the sites are in the proper order each column should appear and widen gradually then narrow gradually and disappear, like the example on the right.

To use this applet, you will need a browser that supports Java 1.2. Netscape 4.x or higher and Internet Explorer 4.X or higher support it by default. Opera and the rest can use the plug-in that Sun developed. To make sure that Java is turned on in your browser, you can use the author's tests.
