As a result of glacio-isostatic rebound, large regions Fennoscandia have undergone process relative sea-level fall following the retreat Fennoscandian Ice Sheet.Furthermore, coastal Stone Age sites in region appear to been predominantly located on or close shoreline when they were use.Based their altitude present-day sea-level, this can be combined with reconstruction past change assign an approximate date use.This method, called dating, has used since early 1900s (e.g.Brøgger, 1905) and is...
This paper presents and contrasts procedures conceptual underpinnings associated with statistical modelling machine learning in the study of past locational patterns. was done by applying methods logistic regression random forest to a case coastal Mesolithic settlement patterns southern Norway—a context that has not been subject formal pattern analysis past. While predictive accuracy two comparable, different strengths weaknesses offered firmer foundation on which both draw moderate...
A central premise for the Stone Age archaeology of northern Scandinavia is that most coastal sites were located on or close to contemporary shoreline when they in use. By reconstructing trajectory rapid and continuous relative sea-level fall characterises large regions Fennoscandia, this offers a dating method termed 'shoreline dating' which widely applied. However, while potentially immense benefits an additional source temporal data separate from radiometric typological methods...
By developing a new methodology for handling and assessing large number of shoreline dated sites, this paper compares the summed probability distribution radiocarbon dates along Skagerrak coast south-eastern Norway. Both measures have previously been compared to elucidate demographic developments in Fennoscandia, but these not based on probabilistic methods dating. The findings indicate largely diverging development two data sets through Mesolithic. sites undergoes some process overall...
