The Penguin Dictionary of Archaeology by Warwick Bray and David Trump, Second Edition, 1982, and The Graphical Law

We study the head entries of The Penguin Dictionary of Archaeology by Warwick Bray and David Trump, Second Edition, 1982.We draw the natural logarithm of the number of head entries, normalised, starting with a letter vs the natural logarithm of the rank of the letter, normalised. We conclude that the dictionary can be characterised by BW(c=0.01),the magnetisation curve of the Ising Model in the Bragg-Williams approximation in the presence of external magnetic field, H. $c=frac{ H}{gamma epsilon}=0.01$ with $epsilon$ being the strength of coupling between two neighbouring spins in the Ising Model. $gamma$ represents the number of nearest neighbours of a spin, which is very large.

Comments: 19 Pages. A crucial mistake in plotting BW(c=0.01) has been rectified
