Cotswold Archaeology

What a fantastic training day! 🤓 A huge thank you to Historic England for organising ‘The Dating Game’; a Radiocarbon dating and Bayesian modelling training event which I attended a few weeks ago on behalf of Cotswold Archaeology. Hosted at The Harbourside Pavilion in Bristol, we explored the principles of Radiocarbon dating and how Bayesian chronological modelling can be applied to provide robust chronologies for archaeological sites. It was also a great opportunity to reconnect with industry colleagues and meet some new faces within the archaeological sector. Interested to learn more?
