Bayesian statistics applied to Archaeology

Bayesian Modeling of Archaeological Chronologies

ArchaeoPhases: Bayesian Modeling of Archaeological Chronologies
The package ArchaeoPhases provides a list of functions for the statistical analysis and the post-processing of the Markov Chains simulated for instance by Bcal, ChronModel and Oxcal :

– Age Depth curve

– Building a chronology by intervals [phasing]

– Testing the presence of hiatus

– Estimation of a transition between two phases.

– Tempo plot
