palimpsestr: Probabilistic Decomposition of Archaeological Palimpsests
Probabilistic framework for the analysis of archaeological
palimpsests based on the Stratigraphic Entanglement Field (SEF).
Integrates spatial proximity, stratigraphic depth, chronological
overlap, and cultural similarity to estimate latent depositional
phases via diagonal Gaussian mixture Expectation-Maximisation (EM).
Provides the Stratigraphic Entanglement Index (SEI), Excavation
Stratigraphic Energy (ESE), and Palimpsest Dissolution Index (PDI)
for quantifying depositional coherence, detecting intrusive finds,
and measuring palimpsest formation. Includes simulation, diagnostics,
phase-count selection, publication-quality plots, and Geographic
Information System (GIS) export via 'sf'. Methods are described in Cocca (2026)
