mustrianalüüsi
Mustrianalüüs, often translated as "pattern analysis" or "motif analysis" in English, is a methodology used in various fields, particularly in archaeology and historical linguistics, to identify recurring patterns or motifs within data. The core idea is to detect similarities and recurring structures that might not be immediately apparent through casual observation. This can involve analyzing the arrangement of objects, the frequency of certain features, or the systematic variation of elements.
In archaeology, mustrianalüüs might be applied to the study of pottery shards, tool assemblages, or settlement
