Sediment residence time and connectivity in non-equilibrium and transient geomorphic systems

T Hoffmann - Earth-Science Reviews, 2015 - Elsevier
Growing empirical evidence shows that many geomorphic systems are in transient state or

Summed radiocarbon calibrations as a population proxy: a critical evaluation using a realistic simulation approach

DA Contreras, J Meadows - Journal of Archaeological Science, 2014 - Elsevier
The logic of using summed radiocarbon (14 C) calibrations (cumulative probability density
functions for large numbers of calibrated 14 C dates) as proxies for past populations rests on …

From revolution to convention: the past, present and future of radiocarbon dating

R Wood - Journal of Archaeological Science, 2015 - Elsevier
Radiocarbon dates form the basis of many archaeological chronologies that span the last
