1658J. Robinson Endoxa iv. 30 Where there is no fear of enormity, there may be a secure seriation of supremacy. 1866Odling Anim. Chem. 47 The acids of these two series presented..a marked parallelism in their constitution, seriation, and properties. 1874Lewes Probl. Life & Mind Ser. i. I. 144 The demonstration that thinking is seriation. 1887Athenæum 3 Sept. 299/3 In the seriation of the [chemical] elements certain gaps occur. 1917Anthrop. Papers Amer. Mus. Nat. Hist. XVIII. 283 We have found that another seriation based on the percentages of redware yields a cheaper result. 1944Genetics XXIX. 534 The test indicated that the males carried bobbed alleles capable of seriation when in combination with the testes. But in homozygous condition several of these seriated alleles produced identical maximum bristle types. 1951G. W. Brainerd in Amer. Antiq. XVI. 304/1 If a series of collections comes from a culture changing through time, their placement on the time axis is a function of their similarity... This..allows a ‘seriation’ or ordering of collections to be formed which, if time be the only factor involved, must truly represent the temporal placing of the collections. Ibid. 311/2, I believe that..seriations formed by this technique will allow refinements in chronology greater than those currently possible. 1966Amer. Anthropologist LXVIII. 1449 When the data are very reliable.., then both ordering criteria produce the same seriation of collections. Confidence in the resulting seriation is therefore high. 1971World Archaeol. III. 197 The established sequence of changing settlements also corresponded with that reached by seriation of the pottery collections from the relevant sites. |
