This is an archaeological problem concerning with art. The figures have been divided into four separate time periods and there are sites which have art from only one time period, whereas some sites have multiple periods. I have divided the dataset into these two categories. Now, the problem I'm having is that I need to statistically prove or disprove that the earliest time-period in single-period sites is statistically significant. This phase has 69 figures, whereas all rest have over a thousand figures. I tried t-testing it (independent samples), but I'm not sure what I should test it against as a second array. I'm using Excel.

So, my problem is this: I'm trying to model an archaeological boat in the simplest of terms. I uploaded an image and traced it in AutoCAD. The pictures were taken from above the wreck. Now I have to add depth into the traced outline. I have taken four measurements of the profile (in this case profile does not mean side view, but a tape measurer was put across the boat and the depth was measured). I should in theory be able to connect the dots from stern to bow and create a 3D model of the boat. All I need to know is how I go about doing this?

I don't generally like posting here since I'm actually trying to get published and if they've been anywhere online they cannot be used as they've lost their uniqueness, but today I'm making an exception.

Q’tach

A room of black and red squares

Glowing, circling a ball

Held up high in the middle

By two hands.

Two blue hands

Of swerving electric water columns

And a bald priest

Dressed in pure white prays

In the name

Of Q’lach

While the masses

Outside, in the city surrounded

By upright cliffs

Covering from the sunlight.

So bright

It’s red

And turns sand into glass.

Here in Q’tach

Every will die

And love

Like us.
