The last decade saw a rapid increase in the number of studies where time–frequency
changes of radiocarbon dates have been used as a proxy for inferring past population …

Using a database of Australian archaeological radiocarbon dates (n= 2996), this paper
explores three key methodological issues associated with the use of summed probability …

The last decade has seen the development of a range of new statistical and computational
techniques for analysing large collections of radiocarbon (14C) dates, often but not …

A warming climate may increase flood hazard through boosting the global hydrological
