	Cognitive Archaeology Cognitive archaeology is a theoretical perspective in archaeology that focuses on the ancient mind. It is divided into two main groups: evolutionary cognitive archaeology (ECA), which seeks to understand human cognitive evolution from the material record, and ideational cognitive archaeology (ICA), which focuses on the symbolic structures discernable in or inferable from past material culture. Evolutionary cognitive archaeology ECA infers change in ancestral human cognition from the archaeological record, often drawing on the theories, methods, and data of other disciplines: cognitive science, comparative cognition, paleoneurology, experimental replication, and hands-on participation in the manufacture and use of traditional technologies. For example, the 3.3-million-year history of stone tool use is broadly informative of change in cognitive capacities like intelligence, spatial reasoning, working memory, and executive functioning, as defined by and understood through cognitive p ...

	Undecimal The undecimal numeral system (also known as the base-11 numeral system) is a Positional notation, positional numeral system that uses 11 (number), eleven as its Radix, base. While no known society counts by elevens, two are purported to have done so: the Māori people, Māori, one of the two Polynesians, Polynesian peoples of New Zealand, and the Pañgwa (Pangwa), a Bantu languages, Bantu-speaking people of Tanzania. The idea of counting by elevens remains of interest for its relation to a traditional method of tally-counting practiced in Polynesia. During the French Revolution, base-11 was briefly mentioned as a possible basis for the reformed system of measurement. Base-11 numerals also appear in the International Standard Book Number system. Alleged use of base-11 in cultural number systems Use by the Māori Conant and Williams For about a century, the idea that Māori counted by elevens was best known from its mention in the writing of the American mathematician Levi Leonard ...
