Matrix Seriation
For a set of archaeological assemblages in tabular form, the problem of seriation comes down to discovering a reordering of rows/columns inferred to be chronological. This approach relies on a set of well-defined statistical and archaeological assumptions (Dunnell 1970). This application allows to perform matrix seriation based on correspondence analysis.
Correspondence analysis is an effective method for the seriation of archaeological assemblages. The order of the rows and columns is given by the coordinates along one dimension of the analysis, assumed to account for temporal variation. Note that the direction of temporal change within the correspondence analysis space is arbitrary: additional information is needed to determine the actual order in time.
