The rule that the probability of two independent events occurring simultaneously is the product of each of their probabilities.
Industry:Archaeology
A form of probabilistic sampling employing a grid of equally spaced locations; e.g., selecting every other square. This method of regular spcaing runs the risk of missing (or hitting) every single example if the distribution itself is regularly spaced.
Industry:Archaeology
Bending, a movement in which the angle of a limb joint decreases; the opposite of extension.
Industry:Archaeology
Muscle extending from below the humerus midshaft, across the front of the elbow, and attaching on the top of the ulna. It flexes the elbow.

Small elevations found along the occlusal margin or newly erupted incisor.
Industry:Archaeology
The number of occurrences of a particular kind of mutation in a population of cells or individuals.
Industry:Archaeology
(Ethnogenesis, restricted gene flow and isolation by distance) The evolutionary model that posits humans evolved as an interconnected polytypic species from a single origin in Africa. The small population effects during initial colonization outside Africa, and adaptations to local conditions, helped establish regional differences, which were subsequently maintained through isolation-by-distance and adpative variation. Advantageous changes spread widely because of genic exchanges and the common background of the evolving cultural system whose elements could also spread.
