Typological Method
in archaeology, a method of systematic and chronological classifying of archaeological remains. The method, devised by G. O. Montelius, was first applied in European archaeology in the second half of the 19th century. The typological method entails the classification of ancient objects—such as weapons, work implements, ornaments, or vessels—according to the materials and methods used in making them and according to their shape and ornamentation. Objects that have identical functions and are similar in appearance but differ in detail are grouped in typological evolutionary series; by comparing these series, one can identify groups of objects that are characteristic of a particular epoch. Typological series are also used in the classification of graves and other archaeological structures. The typological method is a valuable archaeological procedure.

No references found | The historical method compares language elements within both temporal (diachronic) and genetic (derivational) boundaries, whereas the typological method compares patterns of language that may or may not be linked temporally (either diachronic or synchronic) and/or genetically. An additional step was taken by the Comte de Caylus in his 1752 Recueil d'Antiquites, when he defined rules of typological method in a way not far removed from the formulations of Pitt-Rivers or Montelius (Caylus 1752: vii-viii): Le culte d'un peuple se reconnoit aux symboles qui caracterisent ses Divinites; son gout est indique par la maniere dont il habille ses figures. 11-87; Bruce Zuckerman with Lynn Swartz Dodd, "Pots and Alphabets: Refractions of Reflections on Typological Method," pp. |
