Scientific Dating in Archaeology

Design of a Computer Vision Based Tree Ring Dating System

The purpose of this paper is to describe the design and implementation of a computer vision based analysis system for dendrochronology. The issues involved in the detection and analysis of tree rings are not unique to the application, but are likely of interest to anyone developing automated image analysis systems.

Use of luminescence dating in archaeology

With improvements in methodology and instrumentation, luminescence dating is becoming a much more useful chronometric tool in archaeology. Procedures for dating ceramics are relatively routine and their accuracy has been demonstrated in a number of studies. Research is aimed at applying ceramic dating in situations where other methods lack the direct dating ability of luminescence to resolve ch...

CORRELATION OF INTERDEPARTURE TIMES IN M / G / l AND M / G / l / K QUEUES

Correlation of consecutive interdeparture times characterizes the output process in a queueing system. We present a recursive procedure for calculating the joint distribution of an arbitrary number of consecutive interdeparture times in M/G/1 and M/G/l /K queues. We then obtain explicitly the covariances of nonadjacent interdeparture times, and display the correlation coefficients that reveal t...

DISTRIBUTION PROPERTIES OF DISCRETE CHARACTERISTICS IN M/G/l AND GI/M/l QUEUES

It has been shown by many authors that distribution properties of some characteristics in queues are inherited from those of the service times. For instances, Keilson (1978) showed that the length of a busy period in an M/G/l queue has a completely monotone density if so does the service time, Shanthikumar(1988) proved that the waiting time distribution in a GI/G/l queue is DFR if so is the ser...
