Statistical analysis of archaeological dates and groups of
    dates. This package allows to post-process Markov Chain Monte Carlo
    (MCMC) simulations from 'ChronoModel' <https://chronomodel.com/>,
    'Oxcal' <https://c14.arch.ox.ac.uk/oxcal.html> or 'BCal'
    <https://bcal.shef.ac.uk/>. It provides functions for the study of
    rhythms of the long term from the posterior distribution of a series
    of dates (tempo and activity plot). It also allows the estimation and
    visualization of time ranges from the posterior distribution of groups
    of dates (e.g. duration, transition and hiatus between successive
    phases) as described in Philippe and Vibet (2020)
    <doi:10.18637/jss.v093.c01>.

Provides the data sets used to build the 'ArchaeoPhases' vignettes.  The data sets were formerly distributed with 'ArchaeoPhases', however they exceed current CRAN policy for package size.

The archdata package provides several types of data that are typically used in archaeological research. It provides all of the data sets used in "Quantitative Methods in Archaeology Using R" by David L Carlson, one of the Cambridge Manuals in Archaeology.

Methods to analyse spatial units in archaeology from the relationships between refitting fragmented objects scattered in these units (e.g. stratigraphic layers). Graphs are used to model archaeological observations. The package is mainly based on the 'igraph' package for graph analysis. Functions can: 1) create, manipulate, visualise, and simulate fragmentation graphs, 2) measure the cohesion and admixture of archaeological spatial units, and 3) characterise the topology of a specific set of refitting relationships. A series of published empirical datasets is included. Documentation about 'archeofrag' is provided by a vignette and by the accompanying scientific papers: Plutniak (2021, Journal of Archaeological Science, <doi:10.1016/j.jas.2021.105501>) and Plutniak (2022, Journal of Open Source Software, <doi:10.21105/joss.04335>). This package is complemented by the 'archeofrag.gui' R package, a companion GUI application available at <https://analytics.huma-num.fr/Sebastien.Plutniak/archeofrag/>.
