The purpose of the matrix analysis was discussed in chapter 10, and the method used was outlined there. To avoid encumbering the text of that chapter with the full data, the matrices themselves are given here, together with a list of the cemeteries considered and of the types which were defined for the analysis.
The abbreviations used for the cemeteries (and their number in the Gazetteer list in Appendix 1) are as follows:
Reference to the original publication of the finds from these cemeteries is given in the Gazetteer. Although this list covers only some of the Early Cycladic cemeteries known, these are the only ones for which detailed data have been published.
Abbreviations: Tc indicates pottery; M, marble; Cu, copper or bronze; In the references, Z refers to Zervos 1956, Pap. to Papathanasopoulos 1961-62, and Tsountas to Tsountas 1898. Other references are to the present work.

TABLE APP. 3.1. Incidence matrix for the occurrence of the different types of grave goods found in the Early Cycladic cemeteries. The first figure indicates the number of different graves in which the type in question is found, the second figure the total number of occurrences of the type in the cemetery in question. The key for the cemetery abbreviations is given on p. 539, and the type numbers at the head of the columns are explained on p. 540.
Note: It was possible to include only such data as were published by the excavator. Sources: Tsountas 1898, Tsountas 1899; Varoucha 1926; Papathanasopoulos 1961–62; Edgar 1897.
TABLE APP.3.2. Unordered presence-absence similarity coefficient matrix for the Early Cycladic cemeteries. The figure indicates in each case the number of types the two cemeteries have in common, irrespective of the number of times these occur in each cemetery. Cemeteries as listed for Table App. 3.1.
TABLE APP.3.3. Percentile similarity coefficient matrix for the Early Cycladic cemeteries, as ordered by the computer, using the Kuzara-Mead-Dixon program for Robinson-Brainerd seriation. Cemeteries as listed for Table App. 3.3.
TABLE APP.3.4. Percentile incidence matrix for the Early Cycladic cemeteries, ordered by the computer in the ordering presented in Table App. 3.3. The percentage in each case indicates the contribution made by the type in question to the total for the cemetery. (The total occurrence of type, and not simply their presence as in Table App. 3.2, is taken into account.) Early types are on the left. Cemeteries and types as listed for Table App. 3.1.
