mortAAR:Analysis of Archaeological Mortality Data
A collection of functions for the analysis of archaeological mortality data (on the topic see e.g. Chamberlain 2006 <https://books.google.de/books?id=nG5FoO_becAC&lpg=PA27&ots=LG0b_xrx6O&dq=life%20table%20archaeology&pg=PA27#v=onepage&q&f=false>). It takes demographic data in different formats and displays the result in a standard life table as well as plots the relevant indices (percentage of deaths, survivorship, probability of death, life expectancy, percentage of population). It also checks for possible biases in the age structure and applies corrections to life tables.

archeoViz:Visualisation, Exploration, and Web Communication of Archaeological Spatial Data
An R 'Shiny' application for visual and statistical exploration and web communication of archaeological spatial data, either remains or sites. It offers interactive 3D and 2D visualisations (cross sections and maps of remains, timeline of the work made in a site) which can be exported in SVG and HTML formats. It performs simple spatial statistics (convex hull, regression surfaces, 2D kernel density estimation) and allows exporting data to other online applications for more complex methods. 'archeoViz' can be used offline locally or deployed on a server, either with interactive input of data or with a static data set. Example is provided at <https://analytics.huma-num.fr/archeoviz/en>.

ArchaeoPhases:Post-Processing of Markov Chain Monte Carlo Simulations for Chronological Modelling
Statistical analysis of archaeological dates and groups of dates. This package allows to post-process Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulations from 'ChronoModel' <https://chronomodel.com/>, 'Oxcal' <https://c14.arch.ox.ac.uk/oxcal.html> or 'BCal' <https://bcal.shef.ac.uk/>. It provides functions for the study of rhythms of the long term from the posterior distribution of a series of dates (tempo and activity plot). It also allows the estimation and visualization of time ranges from the posterior distribution of groups of dates (e.g. duration, transition and hiatus between successive phases) as described in Philippe and Vibet (2020) <doi:10.18637/jss.v093.c01>.

archeofrag:Spatial Analysis in Archaeology from Refitting Fragments
Methods to analyse spatial units in archaeology from the relationships between refitting fragmented objects scattered in these units (e.g. stratigraphic layers). Graphs are used to model archaeological observations. The package is mainly based on the 'igraph' package for graph analysis. Functions can: 1) create, manipulate, and simulate fragmentation graphs, 2) measure the cohesion and admixture of archaeological spatial units, and 3) characterise the topology of a specific set of refitting relationships. Empirical datasets are provided as examples. Documentation about 'archeofrag' is provided by the vignette included in this package, by the accompanying scientific papers: Plutniak (2021, Journal of Archaeological Science, <doi:10.1016/j.jas.2021.105501>) and Plutniak (2022, Journal of Open Source Software, <doi:10.21105/joss.04335>). This package is complemented by a companion GUI application available at <https://analytics.huma-num.fr/Sebastien.Plutniak/archeofrag/>.

dendroNetwork:Create Networks of Dendrochronological Series using Pairwise Similarity
Creating dendrochronological networks based on the similarity between tree-ring series or chronologies. The package includes various functions to compare tree-ring curves building upon the 'dplR' package. The networks can be used to visualise and understand the relations between tree-ring curves. These networks are also very useful to estimate the provenance of wood as described in Visser (2021) <DOI:10.5334/jcaa.79> or wood-use within a structure/context/site as described in Visser and Vorst (2022) <DOI:10.1163/27723194-bja10014>.

baorista:Bayesian Aoristic Analyses
Provides an alternative approach to aoristic analyses for archaeological datasets by fitting Bayesian parametric growth models and non-parametric random-walk Intrinsic Conditional Autoregressive (ICAR) models on time frequency data (Crema (2024)<doi:10.1111/arcm.12984>). It handles event typo-chronology based timespans defined by start/end date as well as more complex user-provided vector of probabilities.

tabula:Analysis and Visualization of Archaeological Count Data
An easy way to examine archaeological count data. This package provides several tests and measures of diversity: heterogeneity and evenness (Brillouin, Shannon, Simpson, etc.), richness and rarefaction (Chao1, Chao2, ACE, ICE, etc.), turnover and similarity (Brainerd-Robinson, etc.). It allows to easily visualize count data and statistical thresholds: rank vs abundance plots, heatmaps, Ford (1962) and Bertin (1977) diagrams, etc.

era:Year-Based Time Scales
Provides a consistent representation of year-based time scales as a numeric vector with an associated 'era'. There are built-in era definitions for many year numbering systems used in contemporary and historic calendars (e.g. Common Era, Islamic 'Hijri' years); year-based time scales used in archaeology, astronomy, geology, and other palaeosciences (e.g. Before Present, SI-prefixed 'annus'); and support for arbitrary user-defined eras. Years can converted from any one era to another using a generalised transformation function. Methods are also provided for robust casting and coercion between years and other numeric types, type-stable arithmetic with years, and pretty-printing in tables.

shoredate:Shoreline Dating Coastal Stone Age Sites
Provides tools for shoreline dating coastal Stone Age sites. The implemented method was developed in Roalkvam (2023) <doi:10.1016/j.quascirev.2022.107880> for the Norwegian Skagerrak coast. Although it can be extended to other areas, this also forms the core area for application of the package. Shoreline dating is based on the present-day elevation of a site, a reconstruction of past relative sea-level change, and empirically derived estimates of the likely elevation of the sites above the contemporaneous sea-level when they were in use. The geographical and temporal coverage of the method thus follows from the availability of local geological reconstructions of shoreline displacement and the degree to which the settlements to be dated have been located on or close to the shoreline when they were in use. Methods for numerical treatment and visualisation of the dates are provided, along with basic tools for visualising and evaluating the location of sites.

Stacking rings are tools used to stack pottery in a Kiln. A relatively large group of stacking rings was found in the area of the sanctuary of Dionysos in Miletus in the 1970s. Measurements and additional info is gathered in this package and made available for use by other researchers. The data along with its archaeological context and analysis has been published in Steinmann (2020) <doi:10.34780/aa.v0i1.1014>.

dispeRse:Simulation of Demic Diffusion with Environmental Constraints
Simulates demic diffusion building on models previously developed for the expansion of Neolithic and other food-producing economies during the Holocene (Fort et al. (2012) <doi:10.7183/0002-7316.77.2.203>, Souza et al. (2021) <doi:10.1098/rsif.2021.0499>). Growth and emigration are modelled as density-dependent processes using logistic growth and an asymptotic threshold model. Environmental and terrain layers, which can change over time, affect carrying capacity, growth and mobility. Multiple centres of origin with their respective starting times can be specified.
