This package contains datasets used in:

Binford, Lewis R. 2001. Constructing Frames of Reference: An Analytical Method for Archaeological Theory Building Using Ethnographic and Environmental Data Sets University of California Press, Berkeley.

This package contains three datasets:

• LRB: environmental and hunter-gatherer data used in Binford’s book
• LRBfact: equal to LRB except code values are represented by their label, rather than the code
• LRBkey: key to the LRB data frame

The data were obtained from Amber Johnson’s website on 31 Jul 2016: http://ajohnson.sites.truman.edu/data-and-program/

This package and the datasets have also been archived on Zenodo: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.8427968
