ABSTRACT

This paper reviews the implementation of a non-linear method, the spherical self- organising feature map that was able to recognise non-linear patterns in micro-artefacts, proposing the necessity for such recognitions in order to im-prove archaeological interpretations.

Keywords:

Micro-artefacts, non-linearity, spherical self- organising feature map, pattern recognition.
