This article employs comparative Bayesian chronology building to formally evaluate the
quality of a legacy radiocarbon dataset from the southern Appalachian region of the …

This reply addresses the criticisms levelled by Higham et al (Before Farming 2011/2 article
1) against Caron et al (2011; PLoS ONE 6 (6): e21545). We first emphasise the fact that …

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 …

We propose a robust event date model aiming to estimate the date of a target event by the
combination of individual dates obtained from archaeological artifacts assumed to be …

In this thesis we have approached the historical problem of cultural standardization at the
end of Bronze Age. In particular, we have analyzed phenomena of expansion and adoption …

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 …

Archaeologists, along with other Quaternary researchers, seldom rely upon a single
radiocarbon determination to provide an estimate of the age of the phenomenon which is the …

Dating is a key element for archaeologists. We propose a Bayesian approach to provide
chronology to sites that have neither radiocarbon dating nor clear stratigraphy and whose …

Although there are many Late‐glacial (ca. 15 000–11 000 cal. yr BP) proxy climate records
from northwest Europe, some analysed at a very high temporal resolution (decadal to …

Statistical manipulation of large radiometric data sets (big data) is increasingly applied to
those grand challenges in archaeology that relate to past human‐behavioural dynamics and …
