These chronologies underpin 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eFigure List\u003c\/em\u003e  \u003cem\u003eTable List\u003c\/em\u003e  \u003cem\u003eContributors\u003c\/em\u003e  \u003cem\u003eAbstract\u003c\/em\u003e  \u003cem\u003eConventions used\u003c\/em\u003e  \u003cem\u003eAcknowledgements\u003c\/em\u003e     Chapter 1 Introduction  Chapter 2 Radiocarbon  \u003cem\u003eSeren Griffiths and Thomas Higham\u003c\/em\u003e  Chapter 3 Dendrochronology  \u003cem\u003eMartin Bridge and Seren Griffiths\u003c\/em\u003e  Chapter 4 Luminescence – Optically Simulated Luminescence and Thermoluminescence  \u003cem\u003eAbi Stone and Seren Griffiths\u003c\/em\u003e  Chapter 5 Archaeomagnetic dating  \u003cem\u003eSam Harris and Seren Griffiths\u003c\/em\u003e  Chapter 6 Palaeoenvironmental chronologies  \u003cem\u003eSeren Griffiths and Benjamin Gearey\u003c\/em\u003e  Chapter 7 On Site — designing and implementing chronometric sampling strategies  \u003cem\u003eSeren Griffiths\u003c\/em\u003e  Chapter 8 Analysing Datasets – Bayesian inference and archaeological chronometric data  \u003cem\u003eSeren Griffiths and Richard Staff\u003c\/em\u003e  Chapter 9 Scientific dating and narrative  \u003cem\u003eSeren Griffiths\u003c\/em\u003e","brand":"Oxbow Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042569388375,"sku":"9781789255621","price":35.72,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781789255621.jpg?v=1750954682","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/scientific-dating-in-archaeology-9781789255621","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
