| CharAnalysis A
program for analyzing sediment-charcoal records with the goal of
peak-detection to reconstruct "local" fire history.

CRSModel A program that calculates
sample ages and error estimates based on 210Pb
measurement and the assumptions of the Constant Rate of Supply model.
The program also produces a spline-based chronology with confidence
windows. Calculations follow Binford 1990
(Calculation
and uncertainty analysis of 210Pb dates for
PIRLA project lake sediment cores. Journal of Paleolimnology, 3:
253-267.)

installed Matlab MCR.exe, then all you need are the following files:

MCAgeDepth Fit calibrated 14C dates and 210Pb
dates with a spline-based age-depth model, and estimate confidence
intervals around the fit based on Monte Carlo resampling of the
original dates. For each Monte Carlo resampling, the age of each sample
is picked randomly from the PDF of the calibrated age. In the
case of 14C dates, this avoids having to select a single age for each
date.
