Abstract
The conference is an annual doctoral meeting which aim is to share our research regarding prehistory and protohistory. The theme of the 2022 was the correct use of data to produce reliable publications and to make our research progress. In our archaeological investigations, the question of the right scale of analysis is of the utmost importance. With each new research project - whether it is a survey, a preventive or programmed excavation or an academic work - comes a diversified panel of contex (scientific, geographic, stratigraphic, etc.) that provides data of varying quality. Several kinds of tools and methods of analysis (statistics, GIS, modelling, etc.) are at our disposal in order to make sense of archaeological finds.
In this context, data can carry intrinsic and extrinsic information that can be very different depending on the context in which they were collected, or the prism through which they are studied. This diversity forces the archaeologist to choose the best scale of observation, on which the elaboration of the dataset and the method(s) used to address the issues he wishes to develop will depend.
