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 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 …

As the use of large-scale radiocarbon datasets becomes more common and applications of
Bayesian chronological modeling become a standard aspect of archaeological practice, it is …
