- Information
Description
A variety of techniques have been developed to provide scientific chronologies of archaeological sites and material culture.
These chronologies under-pin the narratives that are generated for prehistoric and other periods.
The application of Bayesian statistical analysis to scientific chronologies has been hailed as ‘a revolution in understanding’, and has brought renewed emphasis onto how we generate scientific chronological data, how these data are applied into wider narratives, and the epistemological importance of these data.
This volume will provide a timely review of the methods, applications and challenges of applying different scientific dating techniques to archaeological sites and material culture.
It will then provide an introduction to Bayesian modelling, and highlight a series of considerations in the application of scientific dating techniques.
