Table one shows data on lithic tool counts from Weasel Cave by excavation unit and sublevel in layer 12. Since sublevel B is underneath A it is interesting to explore the degree to which the tool counts from the two sublevels may be the same or different.

units are 1 x 1 m sq designated uniquely on a letter

and number grid, so the K, L, M lines are all adjacent.

Like this looking down: K20, K21, K22, K23

L20, L21, L22, L23

M20, M21, M22, M23

The data is from a single block of 12 1 x 1 units.

2.) Another method might be to test the fit between the sublevel B and A counts per unit. Since sublevel A is above sublevel B use the sublevel B counts as the expected frequencies (they were deposited first). Test the fit between these expected values and the sublevel A counts.

A) the null and alternative hypotheses,

B) the significance level (alpha),

C) the critical values (or probabilities) involved, and

D) which tables (if any) were consulted,

E) the calculated test statistic

F) whether the null hypothesis is rejected, or not rejected.
