Abstract: In combination with the features of simple random sampling, cluster sampling and continuous repeated sampling, this paper designs specific program of sampling research which can be used to study large number of stone artifacts. By sampling and assessing at the same time, we can deduct the whole picture using limited samples. The article uses this method on the research of the stone artifacts of the Dayao site and has got some success. Specific procedures are as follows. First, divide the overall into several independent groups with the cluster sampling method and make every group be numbered. Second, use simple random sampling method to select a random group and get the results of the statistical analysis. Then, select another group in the remaining randomly. Accumulate the group with the first group and make statistical analysis. And so on, repeating to sampling statistics stabilized. The sampling and evaluation of samples simultaneously in this sampling method, not only to control the sample size, but also to verify the statistical reliability of the results. Besides, this sampling method can also help to trace the source of the stone artifacts as well as the study of comparison of areas where different stone industries distribute.
