Computer science—especially pattern recognition, signal processing and mathematical algorithms—can offer important information about archaeological finds, information that is otherwise undetectable by the human senses and traditional archaeological approaches.

Pattern Recognition and Signal Processing in Archaeometry: Mathematical and Computational Solutions for Archaeology offers state of the art research in computational pattern recognition and digital archaeometry. Computer science researchers in pattern recognition and machine intelligence will find innovative research methodologies combined to create novel and efficient computational systems, offering robust, exact, and reliable performance and results. Archaeologists, conservators, and historians will discover reliable automated methods for quickly reconstructing archaeological materials and benefit from the application of non-destructive, automated processing of archaeological finds.

Chapter 5

Functional Form, Elasticity and Lexical Richness: Estimates and Implications (pages 166-185)

Epaminondas E. Panas

One may ask whether these theoretical notions have any practical importance. For instance, does the specification of the elasticity produce appropriate indexes of lexical richness estimates? Apparently the answer is yes, as evidenced...
