I know of a paper in pps in which the author does not know that 10 square metres are not the a same as a ten metre by ten metre box and presumably neither did the editors or the peer reviewers, they run a unit. From looking at gingers survey which I would suggest is just about unanswerable it would be interesting to know when ginger last did any academic mathematics and to what standard. Archaeology is littered with people who barely got through gcse maths who think that some statistics is the answer to their phd (almost all). I would suggest that orton, shennan pretty much set their careers on supplying that market. Most of the self appointed processtionalists who decided to invent postisum turn out to be mathematically illiterate on examination. Kev whats the dissertation on? (not that I think that it is connected to this thread)
