OxCal

OxCal is a software tool used by scientists to determine the age of ancient materials, like archaeological artifacts or fossils. It analyzes data from radiocarbon dating and other methods to create statistically supported age estimates. Essentially, OxCal helps researchers build a timeline of historical events by interpreting scientific measurements, accounting for uncertainties and calibration curves. This allows for more accurate and reliable dating, advancing our understanding of human history and natural events.
