To the extent that artifacts vary from a surface they will be pulled towards the isotropic pole. Thus, the last simulated data set was created by giving 200 artifacts random bearings (0-360°) and random plunges (0-90°). From the Schmidt diagram ... it is clear that there is no patterning in these data. Points are as likely to plot near the edges as near the center of the diagram and the Rose diagram shows an approximately uniform distribution of bearings. 2, record 1, English, - random%20plunge
