ANALYTICKÝ POVRCHOVÝ ZBER NA LOKALITE VRÁBLE-FIDVÁR: STAV BÁDANIA A MOŽNOSTI SPRACOVANIA DÁT

The Early Bronze Age fortified settlement near Vráble-Fidvár is one of the most important archaeological sites in Europe. This paper is trying to review the field walking campaign of 2007 at the site, from the perspective of methodology and state of research. Its purpose is to introduce an unconventional method of data evaluation known as (spatial) sampling. The article deals with a concept of two-stage sampling which in combination with spatial interpolation aims to demonstrate an effective way of processing large archaeological datasets. Sampling design is divided into two phases. First, disproportional stratified sampling shows preliminary spatial patterns which will be completed by second phase of adaptive cluster sampling. Basic information about the design, its aims and sample size are provided within.
