shoredate: Shoreline Dating Stone Age Sites on the Norwegian Skagerrak
Coast
Provides tools for shoreline dating Stone Age sites located on the
Norwegian Skagerrak coast using methods presented in Roalkvam (2023)
<doi:10.1016/j.quascirev.2022.107880>. Shoreline dating is based on
the present-day elevation of a site, a reconstruction of past relative
sea-level change, and empirically derived estimates of the likely elevation of
the sites above the contemporaneous sea-level when they were in use. The
geographical and temporal coverage of the method thus follows from local
geological reconstructions of shoreline displacement and the degree to which
settlements in the region have been found to have been located on or close to
the shoreline when they were in use. Methods for numerical treatment and
visualisation of the dates are provided, along with basic tools for evaluating
the location of sites within the region and corresponding variation in local
shoreline displacement.
