Abstract
Identifying occupation horizons can be a problem in deep sites with no visible stratification, especially if layers are sloping. This program examines the locations of artifacts in a three-dimensional space, allowing rotating and tilting to any desired viewing angle so that a pattern which originally appeared muddled becomes clearer. The reverse also applies: spurious patterning can be unmasked.
