The application of conventional phylogenetic techniques for inferringcultural history is problematic due to differences in the nature of informationtransmission in biological and cultural realms. In culture, units oftransmission are not just measurable attributes, but communicable concepts.Therefore, relatedness amongst cultural elements often resides at theconceptual level not captured by traditional phylogenetic methods. This papertakes a cognitively inspired approach to analyzing material cultural history.We show that combining data for physical attributes of cultural artifacts withconceptual information can uncover cultural influences among differentethnolinguistic groups, and reveal new patterns of cultural ancestry. Using theBaltic psaltery, a musical instrument with a well-documented ethnographic andarchaeological record, we recovered a previously unacknowledged pattern ofhistorical relationship that is more congruent with geographical distributionand temporal data than is obtained with other approaches.
