End-to-end Bayesian analysis of <sup>14</sup> C dates reveals new insights into lowland Maya demography

2020-07-04

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Archaeologists and demographers increasingly employ aggregations of published radiocarbon ( 14 C) dates as demographic proxies summarizing changes in human activity in past societies. Presently, summed probability densities (SPDs) of calibrated radiocarbon dates are the dominant method of using 14 C dates to reconstruct demographic trends. Unfortunately, SPDs are incapable of converging on the...
