I have been using my own variation of the matrix for many years now. I find
the matrices to be a good tool for organizing stratigraphic relationships,
but the phasing aspect, as has been pointed out, is also very helpful for
interpreting sites. I have reports of two outbuildings at a 19th century
plantation that I excavated here in Louisville where I used the matrix and
phasing to understand the life of the buildings. If I have time to convert
them to pdfs I would be glad to send them. Hard copies can be ordered
through the Kentucky Archaeological Survey.
