Summed probability distributions of radiocarbon dates are an increasingly popular means
by which to reconstruct prehistoric population dynamics, enabling more thorough cross …

In a previous study we presented a new method that used summed probability distributions
(SPD) of radiocarbon dates as a proxy for population levels, and Monte-Carlo simulation to …

The last decade saw a rapid increase in the number of studies where time–frequency
changes of radiocarbon dates have been used as a proxy for inferring past population …

Radiocarbon date frequency distributions and archaeological site counts are two popular
proxies used to investigate prehistoric demography, following the assumption that variations …

The logic of using summed radiocarbon (14 C) calibrations (cumulative probability density
functions for large numbers of calibrated 14 C dates) as proxies for past populations rests on …

Archaeologists now routinely use summed radiocarbon dates as a measure of past
population size, yet few have coupled these measures to theoretical expectations about …

Following its initial arrival in SE Europe 8,500 years ago agriculture spread throughout the
continent, changing food production and consumption patterns and increasing population …

Raw counts of archaeological sites, estimates of changing settlement size and summed
radiocarbon probability distributions have all become popular ways to investigate long-term …

We introduce a new workflow for analysing archaeological frequency data associated with
relative rather than absolute chronological time-stamps. Our approach takes into account …

Estimating past population dynamics has become a major research topic for archaeology,
which uses several proxies for studying past demography. The Czech Republic represents a …
