Create a new chronology for a record. Within Neotoma all chronologies have unique numeric identifiers. Within R, because of the need to use the identifiers across objects, and because we want to avoid conflicts between naming systems, a universally unique identifier (UUID) is created for the object ID.
Function to create new chronology objects for personal analysis. The new object will not be uploaded to the database.

x = NA,
chronologyid = NA_integer_,
notes = NA_character_,

agemodel = NA_character_,

)chronology object
Object to be set as a chronology
An optional value. Will be assigned a unique identifier if not provided.
Additional notes about the chronology. For more modern models, often the function call to Bacon or Bchron is added here.
A contacts object, identifying the individual(s) who created the chronology
A string representing the age model name, for example "Crummy linear interpolation".
The ageboundolder is assigned the oldest sample
age rounded up to the nearest 10
The ageboundyounger is assigned the oldest
sample age rounded up to the nearest 10
Defines whether the model is the default for the collection unit for a particular model age type.
The date at which the age model was prepared.
The age type for the model. For validation, the models
should be one of the valid Neotoma agetypes:
https://api.neotomadb.org/v2.0/data/dbtables?table=agetypes
A valid name for the chronology.
A data.frame containing the chronological controls for the age model.
