The statistical package developed by Arizona State University archaeologist Keith Kintigh over the past twenty or so years called Tools for Quantitative Archaeology includes much of what archaeologists have come to require in a statistics package: k-means, nearest neighbor, battleship curve analysis, diversity measures, random walk, Brainerd-Robinson, all kinds of geeky stuff in one time-tested place. The package works as a DOS program in Windows 95 through XP, and can be purchased for an individual user or as a site license. A detailed description of the statistical packages in TFQA and a step-by-step installation process is available on the website.
