alces

58 radiocarbon determinations collated by Dale Guthrie, R. related to
Alces (moose) in Yukon and Alaska. Samples
are restricted to those between 25,000--6000 \({}^{14}\)C yrs BP. 
Reference:

and Pleistocene extinctions. Nature 441, 207--209 (2006).

datasets

Performs Bayesian non-parametric calibration of multiple related radiocarbon determinations, and summarises the calendar age information to plot their joint calendar age density (see Heaton (2022) <doi:10.1111/rssc.12599>).
Also models the occurrence of radiocarbon samples as a variable-rate (inhomogeneous) Poisson process, plotting the posterior estimate for the occurrence rate of the samples over calendar time, and providing information about potential change points.
