Wiggles, Plateaus, and Precision: High-Resolution Radiocarbon Dating of the Transition from Early East Polynesian to Classic Māori Society.
Achieving precise archaeological chronologies in island environments has long been hindered by plateaus and wiggles in the radiocarbon calibration curve. This study shows how to overcome these temporal bottlenecks by integrating Bayesian principles with high-precision sample selection, and demonstrates how the interpre...
