Abstract
Because of its dependence on presence-and-absence counts, the Dempsey-Baumhoff ordering technique may not be as useful as the Robinson technique in two kinds of situations: (1) when artifact mixture has occurred, and (2) when the types used are based on continuously varying attributes and overlap one another to some extent because of normal variation in the attributes.Keywords
