Aoristic Analysis
This application allows to perform aoristic analysis of time intervals. Aoristic analysis can be used to determine the probability of contemporaneity of archaeological assemblages. The aoristic analysis distributes the probability of an event uniformly over each temporal fraction of the period considered. The aoristic sum is then the distribution of the total number of events to be assumed within this period.
You can import your data in CSV format. It assumes that you keep your data tidy: each variable must be saved in its own column and each sample must be saved in its own row.
