Statistical models for the calibration of both independent and related groups of radiocarbon
determinations are now well established and there exists a number of software packages …

This chapter summarizes the current state of the art in the use of Bayesian statistical models
originally devised for chronology building in archaeology. Over the last 10 years …

Due to freely available, tailored software, Bayesian statistics is now the dominant paradigm
for archaeological chronology construction in the UK and much of Europe and is increasing …

This chapter is an account of the experiences of the two authors in routinely applying
Bayesian statistics to sets of radiocarbon dates. Whereas Buck (Chapter 1) gives an account …

Radiocarbon dates on samples susceptible to inbuilt age are common in the chronological
record of many archaeological and environmental sites. Indeed, fragments of charcoal and …

Bayesian chronological modelling is fast becoming the method of choice for the
interpretation of radiocarbon dates in archaeological and palaeoenvironmental studies …

Over the last thirty years radiocarbon dating has been widely used in archaeology and
related fields to address a wide-range of chronological questions. Because of some inherent …

The Bayesian statistical framework now offers an integrated approach to the interpretation of
groups of related archaeological radiocarbon determinations. This increased interpretive …

Bayesian mathematics provides a tool for combining radiocarbon dating results on findings
from an archaeological context with independent archaeological information such as the …

Bayesian inference has become an important tool for the construction of archaeological
chronologies. This has been made possible by the development of Bayesian statistical …
