CRAN Task View: Archaeological Science

This CRAN Task View contains a list of packages useful for scientific work in Archaeology, grouped by topic. Note that this is not an official CRAN Task View, just one I have prepared for my own convenience, so it includes some packages only on GitHub and other non-CRAN resources I find useful. Many of the most highly recommended packages listed here can be installed in a single step by installing the tidyverse package.

Besides these packages, a very wide variety of functions suitable for scientific work in Archaeology is provided by both the basic R system (and its set of recommended core packages), and a number of other packages on the Comprehensive R Archive Network (CRAN) and GitHub. Consequently, several of the other CRAN Task Views may contain suitable packages, in particular the Social Sciences, Spatial, Spatio-temporal, Cluster analysis, Multivariate Statistics, Bayesian inference, Visualization, and Reproducible research Task Views.

Contributions to this Task View are always welcome, and encouraged. The source file for this particular task view file resides in a GitHub repository (see below), and pull requests are the preferred method for contributions.

Data acquisition

• The ideal method is to export your spreadsheets from Excel (or whatever program you made them) as CSVs (comma-separated-values, a simple, non-proprietary plain-text-based format that is very transparent, being human-readable, easily machine-processable and suitable for archival storage) and read them into R using the base function read.csv(). Data in other types of plain text files can be read in with read.table().
• To read Microsoft Excel files into R there is readxl. OpenDocument Spreadsheet files can be read into R using readODS.
• For working with untidy and/or complex Excel spreadsheets (i.e. many tables in one sheet, coloured cells, cells with formulas, etc.), use jailbreakr, xlsxtractr, tidyxl and unpivotr
• Text data (as in sentences and paragraphs) can be read in and analysed with the tm package or tidytext. If the text is in a Microsoft Word file, use textreadr, or if it's a PDF file, use pdftools. Text in image files can be extracted with tesseract
•   For quickly reading in a very large number of CSV files, or very large CSV files, use fread() from the data.table package or functions in the readr package. For plain text (CSV, TSV, etc) files that are too big to fit in memory, use chunked to read and operate on them in small chunks.
• RODBC, RMySQL, RPostgreSQL, RSQLite for connecting R to SQL databases. RODBC can connect to Microsoft Access databases.
• The haven and foreign packages can be used for reading and writing files from certain versions of Minitab, S, SAS, SPSS, Stata, Systat and Weka.
• ESRI shapefiles can be read using rgdal or maptools
• R can receive data directly from the web using rvest, httr, XML, jsonlite, RSelenium (requires Selenium 2.0 Remote WebDriver). R can be programmed to be a web-scraper using rvest and/or Rselenium. The Web Technologies task view gives more details.
• Google spreadsheets can be read into R using the googlesheets package
• Tables can be read directly from Microsoft Word documents with docxtractr, and from PDF documents with tabulizer
• Datasets from the Open Context repository can be browsed and read into R using the opencontext package

Data manipulation

• dplyr and data.table for splitting the data up by groups, applying some common or custom functions, and combining the output back into a convenient form (ie. typical aggregation, splitting and summarising operations). Both packages are fast on very large datasets.
• For cleaning, examining, and making quick summaries of data, janitor, skimr, statar, and xda maybe useful. tabplot has functions for exploratory data visualisation of tables
• tidyr for rearranging the data from long to wide forms, and more complex reshaping.
• purrr simplifies working with lists, applying functions to list elements and collecting the results
• broom takes the output of many built-in functions in R, such as lm or t.test, and turns them into tidy data frames.
• measurements, convertr, and units converts between metric and imperial units, or calculate a dimension's unknown value from other dimensions' measurements.

Visualising data

• ggplot2 produces a very wide variety of attractive plots with a highly flexible and logical syntax.
• Extensions include ggbiplot (PCA biplots with ellipses), GGally (plot matrices), ggtern (ternary plots), ggfortify (many methods for plotting PCA, clustering, linear model output, etc., using ggplot2),ggalt (more geoms, coords, stats, scales and fonts, including splines, 1d and 2d densities), waffle (for square pie charts), ggraph for treemaps, ggfan for fanplots, tidybayes for plotting output of Bayesian analysis, ggridges for ridge plots, ggalt for many additional geoms, ggrepel for moving overlapping text labels away from each other, and shadowtext for a halo around text to make it more readable on busy plots.
• For showing distributions across several categories: ggforce, ggbeeswarm, vipor, sinaplot
• For isolines and isobands use ggisoband
• plotly and ggiraph make ggplots interactive with mouse-over pop-ups, zooming, click-actions, etc. scatterD3 makes highly interactive scatter plots
• circlize implements Circos in R for circular and chord plots. Rose plots can be made with ggplot2, Schmidt diagrams can be made with the net function in RFOC or the Stereo* functions in RockFab
• plotrix has the function battleship.plot() to make Ford's battleship diagrams.
• ggmap combines the spatial information of static maps from Google Maps, OpenStreetMap, Stamen Maps or CloudMade Maps with the layered grammar of graphics implementation of ggplot2
• Stratigraphic data plots can be drawn using tidypaleo, the Stratiplot() function in analogue and functions strat.plot() and strat.plot.simple in the rioja package. The rioja package also includes chclust() for stratigraphically constrained clustering, and related dendrogram plotting methods.
• rgl and plotly for interactive 3D plots, and scatterplot3d also draws 3D point clouds.
• tabplot for exploratory data visualisation of tables
• For schematic diagrams, such as Harris matrices, DiagrammeR is useful.
• For colour schemes in plots: viridis for perfectly perceptually-uniform colours, RColorBrewer, wesanderson, and munsell for exploring and using the Munsell colour system, and for some extra themes for ggplot2, including some Tufte-inspired themes, see ggthemes.

Multi-panel plot layouts

• To combine and align multiple ggplot2 plots (and other image types) in one panel:
• use cowplot for a publication-ready theming and labelling
• patchwork for a simple grammar using +, /, etc
• gridExtra for configuring layouts with a matrix
• multipanelfigure, perhaps the most versatile for combining different elements

Analysis in general

• Base R, especially the stats package, has a lot of functionality useful for analysing archaeological data. For example, chisq.test(), prop.test(), binom.test(), t.test(), wilcox.test(), kruskal.test(), mcnemar.test(), cor.test(), power.t.test(), power.prop.test(), power.anova.test() among many others. Hmisc includes bootstrapping, setting confidence intervals, and power analysis functions, see also psych for useful descriptive statistics and visualizations.
• corrr contains many convenient functions for exploring correlations.
• Bayesian and resampling variants of these also exist, for example in the MCMCpack, BEST (requires JAGS), Bayesian First Aid (also requires JAGS) packages (see the Bayesian task view for more) and the coin, boot, and bootstrap packages (see also msm).
• For analysing change over time, bcp, changepoint, ecp, AnomalyDetection and BreakoutDetection provide functions for detecting distributional changes within time-ordered observations.
• abc provides functions for parameter estimation, model selection, and goodness-of-fit.

Analysis of categorical and count data

• The table() function in the base package and the xtabs() and ftable() functions in the stats package construct contingency tables.
• The chisq.test() and fisher.test() functions in the stats package may be used to test for independence in two-way contingency tables
• The assocstats() function in the vcd package computes the Pearson chi-Squared test, the Likelihood Ratio chi-Squared test, the phi coefficient, the contingency coefficient and Cramer's V for plain or stratified contingency tables.

Linear, generalized linear models, and non-linear models

• Linear models can be fitted (via OLS) with lm() (from stats). The modelr package has helper functions for pipeable modelling (e.g. cross-validation, bootstrapping). For data from a non-normal population, or when there are apparent outliers, lmPerm computes linear models using permutation tests.
• Bayesian fitting of linear and non-linear models is possible with rstanarm, brms, and rethinking.
• The nls() function (from stats) as well as the package minpack.lm allow the solution of nonlinear least squares problems.
• Correlated and/or unequal variances can be modeled using the gnls() function of the nlme package and by nlreg. The nlme package is supported by Pinheiro & Bates (2000) Mixed-effects Models in S and S-PLUS, Springer, New York.
• The generic anova() function in the stats package constructs sequential analysis of variance and analysis of deviance tables, and can compute F and likelihood-ratio tests for nested models. (It is typical for other classes of statistical models in R to have anova methods as well.) The generic anova function in the car package (associated with Fox, An R and S-PLUS Companion to Applied Regression, Sage, 2002) constructs so-called "Type-II" and "Type-III" tests for linear and generalized linear models.

• distance() in the analogue package can be used to calculate dissimilarity between samples of one matrix and those of a second matrix. The same function can be used to produce pair-wise dissimilarity matrices, though the other functions listed above are faster. distance() can also be used to generate matrices based on Gower's coefficient for mixed data (mixtures of binary, ordinal/nominal and continuous variables). Function daisy() in package cluster provides a faster implementation of Gower's coefficient for mixed-mode data than distance() if a standard dissimilarity matrix is required. Function gowdis() in package FD also computes Gower's coefficient and implements extensions to ordinal variables.
