Abstract
	Archaeologists increasingly have become                                                   aware of the effects of bias and have made strides                                                   to identify and correct for error introduced in                                                   such areas as sampling and recovery techniques.                                                   Much less attention has been paid to the                                                   significance of bias introduced during artifact                                                   analysis. The potential for analyst-induced error                                                   is discussed in terms of: (1) the explicitness of                                                   class definitions, (2) differences in perception                                                   among analysts, and (3) changes in a single                                                   analyst's perception over time. Using a                                                   regression-based approach, sources of possible                                                   analytic error are detected in an archaeological                                                   data set recovered from Steens Mountain,                                                   Oregon.
