IOSACal 0.7
IOSACal 0.7 was released yesterday. Here is a quick summary of what’s new. One of the standard plots rendered in the latest IOSACal version. It looks exactly as before. This long cycle was mostly about documentation improvements and some maintenance tasks, the boring but essential work that keeps the project going. Version 0.7 is already available in PyPI and conda-forge. There is an updated version record at Zenodo. All changes were contributed by Stefano Costa. Documentation […]
@jens2go @ClemensSchmid Unfortunately I have to agree with the reviewers (cool that these are open!) that the chronological modelling in this paper does not support the claims it makes.
In particular, the headline that the structures were "used for up to 429 years" conflates the uncertainty of the #radiocarbon dates with the occupation span of the site.
In reality the radiocarbon data offers no evidence of long-lived occupation (and hence domesticity); it just doesn't rule it out.
Making my way from Copenhagen to Leipzig for a workshop on #radiocarbon data and metadata organised by @jfy133. I'm looking forward to the workshop but---strangely maybe moreso---10 hours of focused time on the train.
I unfortunately haven't done so much solo #CrossBorderRail this year. It's either been by plane (ugh) or long train trips with young kids... which is also fun, but not in the same way!
