I am an archaeologist whose research focuses on prehistoric archaeology, working on the prehistory of northern Central Europe / South Scandinavia and the Swiss lakeshore settlements, interested in human-environmental interactions and population development in the Neolithic and Bronze Age. Currently I am a senior researcher (Oberassistent) at the Institute for Archaeological Sciences (IAW) at the University of Bern.
I regard quantitative methods as essential for archaeological research. That is why they represent a substantial aspect of my toolkit. This includes statistical analysis, spatial technologies (including GIS and spatial statistics), and dynamic modeling. You may find some screencasts and other posts regarding statistical method on this website.
Interests:
Archaeology of the Neolithic and early Bronze Age
Quantitative methods and statistics
Theoretical archaeology
Lakeshore settlements (‘Pile Dwellings’)
Megalithic
Radiocarbon dates
Demographic analysis
Spatial Statistics/Simulations
Software development for archaeological applications
Reproducible Research & Open science
Education:
MA in Archaeology, 2008
Kiel University
PhD in Archaeology, 2011

In this post I would like to continue what I have published already 4
years ago. This time I want to show how to calibrate a ¹⁴C-date using
well-known Bayesian tools, specifically JAGS. JAGS stands for Just
Another Gibbs Sampler, and is a program for analysing ‘Bayesian
hierarchical models using Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulation’.
This makes it clearly overqualified for our simple task, but it nicely
shows a different perspective on the problem and also makes obvious the
possibilities of how to extend this task even further.
Calibration of 14C dates is one of the more common tasks an
archaeologists has to do. I will not go into the details of the details
why calibration is necessary here (maybe in another post), but I want to
give in this post and in some follow ups hands on instruction how a
calibration can be archieved using R. This series will be published also
at the ISAAKiel-Repository.
