  Processual archaeology -   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Lewis Binford was the first to champion this cause, first with an article, "Archaeology as Anthropology" in 1962 and later with his book New Perspectives in Archaeology in 1968 (Binford, 1962, 1968).
Binford wanted to prove that the Mousterian assemblage, a group of stone artifacts from France during an ice age, was adapted to its environment, and so Binford spent time with the Nunamiut of Alaska, a people living in conditions very similar to that of France during the period in question.
Binford had a good deal of success with this approach, and though his specific problem ultimately eluded complete understanding, the ethnohistorical work he did is constantly used by researchers today and has since been emulated by many (Watson 1991:267).

 Chapter III
Lewis Binford began his illustrious career with his seminal "Archaeology as Anthropology" in which he sought to establish the role of archaeology in Anthropology by exploring the use of ethnographic analogy in the interpretation of functional relationships in archaeological data.
Binford apparently chose this Mousterian problem to which to apply his system of quantitative analysis as a means of demonstrating the utility and potential value of this system of factor analysis to archaeological samples.
Binford goes on to distinguish between "first-order derivative patterning" that is conventional and relatively nonarbitrary, and "second-order derivative patterning" which involves a decision by the researcher as to the subsequent ordering of data for analysis.
