Documentation, analysis, and explanation of culture change have long been goals of archaeology. Scientific graphs facilitate the visual thinking that allow archaeologists to determine the relationship between variables, and, if well designed, comprehend the processes implied by the relationship. Different graph types suggest different ontologies and theories of change, and particular techniques of parsing temporally continuous morphological variation of artefacts into types influence graph form. North American archaeologists have grappled with finding a graph that effectively and efficiently displays culture change over time. Line graphs, bar graphs, and numerous one-off graph types were used between 1910 and 1950, after which spindle graphs displaying temporal frequency distributions of specimens within each of multiple artefact types emerged as the most readily deciphered diagram. The variety of graph types used over the twentieth century indicate archaeologists often mixed elements of both Darwinian variational evolutionary change and Midas-touch like transformational change. Today, there is minimal discussion of graph theory or graph grammar in introductory archaeology textbooks or advanced texts, and elements of the two theories of evolution are still mixed. Culture has changed, and archaeology provides unique access to the totality of humankind's cultural past. It is therefore crucial that graph theory, construction, and decipherment are revived in archaeological discussion.

Before the Kitab 'Al-Azif' or The 'Necronomicon', the Mad Arab Abd Al-Hazzard had penned several collections of Poetry. The Scourge is one such Qasidah or Epic. Previously thought to be lost by modern historians, It's influence is felt thru thee Akashic-Records & This Version of It was channeled by a secret Shadow-Self. Despite attempts at hiding It's existence, shunned as forbidden, It has resurfaced due to a resurgence of Necronomicons published & Lovecraftiana. In This Volume there is several other "BONUS MATERIALS" where the current Editor makes available in Print Other Necronomical Texts which have remained previously unavailable; much like 'The Scourge'.
