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 …

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

With the advent of the high precision radiocarbon calibration curve there is an increasing
demand from archaeologists for results, previously reported on the radiocarbon scale, to be …

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 …

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 …

The Bayesian approach to the interpretation of archaeological chronologies has been
described by Buck et al.(1996). It proceeds from the principle that, although the calibrated …

The importance of chronology is reasserted as a means to achieving history and a sense of
temporality. A range of current methods for estimating the dates and durations of …

In recent years, the use of Bayesian statistical analysis for modelling radiocarbon dates has
become much more commonplace within archaeology, however there remains very little …

Statistical analysis is becoming much more widely used in conjunction with radiocarbon
dating. In this paper I discuss the impact of Bayesian analysis (using computer programs …
