Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
A paper addressing issues which relate to solving problems of this type, highlighting some difficulties associated with one currently available method for approaching them. By adopting a Bayesian approach to estimating duration, it is possible to provide an explicit and coherent framework within which such investigations can take place and whereby each specific problem can be considered in its own right. It is hoped that the paper clarifies problems involved in estimating the duration of a period of time, represented by a series of unordered radiocarbon determinations, in archaeological terms, also in providing estimates of calendar dates for its beginning and end. These estimates take in any archaeological evidence available, for example, termini ante/post quem, and may be repeated when new evidence becomes available. The authors suggest that this technique represents the first time that an objective method for identifying outliers in the data and documenting the effect of their removal has been formulated. | |
