Bayesian modeling of the BBP/EBA overlap on the basis of all 19 BBP and the 19 oldest EBA burials.
The Agreement Index [A:] lies over 60% within every measurement.
Fig 6.
Plot of all pins with radiocarbon dates from Singen and the Augsburg region.
Pin types with more than two dates are supplemented with a sum calibration (black) to show their overall timespan.

Plot of the calibrated radiocarbon dates against the δ13C values (A) and δ15N (B) values of the same collagen extracts.
The letters indicate the burial sites: A: Königsbrunn "Ampack", H: Haunstetten "Hugo-Eckener-Strasse", O: Königsbrunn "Obere Kreuzstrasse", P: Haunstetten "Postillonsstrasse", U: Haunstetten "Unterer Talweg", W: Wehringen "Hochfeld". The C and N isotope data for Singen (S) are adopted from [42], [43].
