Folktales.
Explorers and Exploiters: Deviations from Rarefaction Curves.
Uses deviations from rarefaction curves to detect whether folktale collectors sought out new material (explorers) or revisited known types (exploiters).
Coverage-based Comparisons of Cultural Diversity.
Introduces coverage-based methods for fairly comparing cultural diversity across folktale collections of unequal sampling depth.
Estimating Unseen Shared Cultural Diversity.
Extends unseen species models to estimate the shared diversity between two cultural collections — how many artefacts they have in common that neither has observed.
