Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The radiocarbon revolution may be seen in retrospect as the most decisive development in the archaeology of the 20th century. It is a pleasure, therefore, to have the opportunity of congratulating Radiocarbon on its jubilee celebration, and on the significant role that it has played in establishing a level of excellence in publication, against which the advances in that revolution could be measured. I well remember, as an undergraduate in Cambridge starting to read archaeology in 1960, how each new issue of Radiocarbon would be scrutinized for new dates bearing upon European prehistory. Glyn Daniel, then editor of Antiquity, would often begin a lecture with the announcement of some improbably early date for a Neolithic monument in Brittany or in Britain. It was clear that archaeology was being transformed, but not yet evident what the nature of the transformation would be.

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.
