随着高精度放射性碳校准曲线的出现，考古学家对以前以放射性碳标度报告的结果以日历标度表示的要求越来越高。此外，考古界普遍认识到，如果样本取自连贯、精心选择的背景，并且数据分析中包含任何可用的实质性考古信息，则可以从放射性碳测年中获得更多信息。本文描述了在考古信息可用于先验确定年代背景之间关系的情况下，统计数据分析的贝叶斯方法如何用于校准放射性碳结果组。使用了贝叶斯范式实施方面的最新创新，并通过对两次考古发掘数据的分析来说明该方法。
With the advent of the high precision radiocarbon calibration curve there is an increasing demand from archaeologists for results, previously reported on the radiocarbon scale, to be expressed on the calendar scale. Furthermore, there is a general realization within the archaeological community that much more information can be derived from radiocarbon dating if the samples are taken from coherent, well-chosen contexts and if any available substantive archaeological information is included in the data analysis. This paper describes how the Bayesian approach to statistical data analysis can be used for the calibration of groups of radiocarbon results in situations where archaeological information is availablea prioriabout the relationships between the contexts being dated. Recent innovations in the implementation of the Bayesian paradigm are used and the methodology is illustrated by the analysis of data arising from two archaeological excavations.
