spDates: Analysis of Spatial Gradients in Radiocarbon Dates

Inspired by space-time regressions often performed to assess the expansion of the Neolithic from the Near East to Europe (Pinhasi et al. 2005 <doi:10.1371/journal.pbio.0030410>). Test for significant correlations between the (earliest) radiocarbon dates of archaeological sites and their respective distances from a hypothetical center of origin. Both ordinary least squares (OLS) and reduced major axis (RMA) methods are supported (Russell et al. 2014 <doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0087854>). It is also possible to iterate over many sites to identify the most likely origin.

Coordinates of 9 sites considered as potential centers of origin of the Neolithic expansion. Modified from Pinhasi et al. (2005).centers
Filter archaeological site coordinates and dates, retaining only the earliest radiocarbon date per site.filterDates
Interpolate using inverse distance weighting.interpolateIDW
Perform regression of dates versus distances from multiple potential origins in order to find the best model. It is also possible to specify multiple distances for the spatial binning of the dates.iterateSites
Land polygons.land
Perform regression of archaeological dates on great circle distances from a hypothetical origin. Dates can be filtered to retain only the earliest dates per distance bins (Hamilton and Buchanan 2007). Bootstrap is executed to account for uncertainty in calibrated dates. Regression can be either reduced major axis or ordinary least squares. If using ordinary least squares, regression is performed both on time-versus-distance and on distance-versus-time.modelDates
