Seriation Method

Seriation is a method used in data analysis and archaeology to arrange items—such as artifacts, data points, or features—in a sequence that reveals patterns or relationships. It involves ordering objects based on similarity or characteristics so that similar items are grouped together in a logical progression. This helps identify trends, classify items, or understand chronological sequences. Essentially, seriation organizes complex information into a meaningful order, making it easier to interpret underlying patterns or timelines within the data or artifacts.
