Calculators & Tools
Artifact Density Calculator
The Artifact Density Calculator works out area density (per square metre) and volume density (per cubic metre) from your excavation unit dimensions and artifact counts. It also breaks results down by artifact class, such as ceramics, lithics, and faunal bone, so compositional differences between units are visible alongside the overall density figure.
MNI Calculator
The MNI Calculator works out the Minimum Number of Individuals in a skeletal assemblage from left- and right-side element counts, taking the highest single-element contribution as the overall figure. It also compares MNI against NISP and includes a two-context comparison mode that shows how summed and pooled MNI can disagree, a known non-additivity property of the method.
