Abstract: This chapter discusses the seasonality studies. The subject area called seasonality studies is a nonexistent phenomenon. There are many studies of seasonality that employ one or several of the methods available, but there is no overall rationale that is widely accepted in practice as to why seasonality studies should play a key role in archaeological research. There is no recognition of a framework within which the results of individual methods of seasonality estimation can be integrated. As for the methods of seasonality estimation, they have been applied with varying degrees of success, and the range of potentially useful methods has not been fully explored. The chapter reviews the individual methods of seasonality estimation, and presents a framework for integrating the results of individual methods of seasonality estimation. The rationale, methods, and framework form the basis of research in seasonality studies.
