Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Assigning temporal frameworks in archaeology can be performed using a number of Quaternary dating methods. The chronometers are largely borrowed from the earth sciences and can be grouped into four main categories. These comprise radiometric, incremental, age‐equivalent, and relative dating methods. Applicable radiometric methods include radiocarbon, argon isotope, uranium series, luminescence, electron spin resonance, and fission‐track dating techniques. Dendrochronology and varve chronology make up the category of incremental dating methods, while archaeomagnetism, tephrochronology and molecular clocks constitute age‐equivalent methods. Relative dating methods can entail ordering stratigraphic units using the law of superposition, but other methods include obsidian hydration, amino acid, and fossil bone analysis techniques. The dating method that is chosen for application in a given setting depends on the time range under consideration as well as the types of material that are available for analysis.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
