An approach to age-depth modelling that uses Bayesian statistics to reconstruct accumulation histories for deposits, through combining radiocarbon and other dates with prior information on accumulation rates and their variability. See Blaauw & Christen (2011).
Software for Bayesian age-depth modelling.
The Bacon Manual (maintained and authoritative) is available as a vignette in the CRAN version of the package:
