Nice work Peter, lets just see how this group is doing?
[You better put your flame proof trousers on]
Some basic world facts (#s * 1,000,000) sq km and indivdiuals
Area Pop Posts Pst%/A%* Post%/pop%
Europe(E) 10(8%) 700 55(75) 10 6.4

Hey Peter, no reason for shame there, right. Hey
we are doing archaeology!
FET score, p = 0.00025 versus archaeological news feed.
Would you like to see what the baised breakdown is compared to
real archaeology news?
Lets take a look at news
Eu 6.5

NA 6.5

About the same bias as mine.
We need a cheer for this group. Rah! Rah! Rah!
'We aren't racist,
no racist are we,
they'res not arch_ae_ology,
cause they're another species'.
Even the cats in europe get more archaeology devoted to them than
other peoples and places.
Would you like to see what the baised breakdown of
threads is per poster?
PA 22 posts concerning european archaeology
1* post about european NA archaeology
1 post about NA archaeology
6 posts on general topics.
Bias on topics 34:1 per area and 21:1 per population
Bias on regional topics is 285:1 and 179:1
Here's a FET on comparing you with a actual news sample, below.
TABLE = [ 22 , 2 , 7 , 13 ]
Right : p-value = 0.00009717327156443482
2-Tail : p-value = 0.00010286025692316755
DW 5* threads concerning eureopean archaeology
1 post about european/NA archaeology
1 post about NA archaeology
3 on general topics.
* Several posts by doug were asking for translations of swedish or
italian, and one a repeat of a request for info on the Bosnian
pyramid, which by and large was a service to the group.
1 post was on the black sea, half of which is in europe and half of
which is in asia.
PD 2 on european
2 on asian
1 on oceanian.
Yes, thats right I am biased also.
6:1 in favor of european archaeology for regional topics.
The only two specific threads devoted to asia and 1/2 a thread
dealing with the black sea (doug) comprise all discussions of the
asia archaeology by region. But the FET shows what?
Left : p-value = 0.769960474308298
Right : p-value = 0.6094861660079183
2-Tail : p-value = 1
My bias is not significant.
You _think_ these are about archaeology but mostly they are about
ethnocentric culture within this group. If I were you I would
have kept the threads an enigma.
