Unraveling nature's secrets is more difficult than one might think and includes considering sampling bias.
The ancient Greek philosopher Heraclitus, one of the great-great-grandfathers ofmodern science, wrote that “nature loves to hide.” In other words, understanding the workings of the natural world is hard.
Matthew Purtill, an archaeologist with the Department of Geology and Environmental Science at the State University of New York at Fredonia, considers how sampling bias can hide data that are crucial for answering all sorts of questions. His paper was published online in September in the Journal of Archaeological Method and Theory.
Some parts of Ohio have more plowed fields than others. So if those regions with intensive plowing have more spear points of a particular type than other regions, does that mean that this ancient Indigenous culture preferred that region over others, or could it be that those kinds of points actually are in those other regions but simply haven’t yet been found?We have lots of data that can reveal who lived where in ancient Ohio.
