| ChronometricAge Class | |
|---|---|
| Identifier | https://zooarchnet.org/chrono/terms/ChronometricAge |
| Definition | The age of a specimen or related materials that is generated from a dating assay. |
| Comments | |
| Examples | |
| chronometricAgeID Property | |
|---|---|
| Identifier | https://zooarchnet.org/chrono/terms/chronometricAgeID |
| Definition | An identifier for the set of information associated with a ChronometricAge. May be a global unique identifier or an identifier specific to the data set. |
| Comments | |
| Examples | |
| verbatimChronometricAge Property | |
|---|---|
| Identifier | https://zooarchnet.org/chrono/terms/verbatimChronometricAge |
| Definition | The verbatim age for a specimen, whether reported by a dating assay, associated references, or legacy information. For example, this could be the conventional radiocarbon age as given in an AMS dating report. This could also be simply what is reported as the age of a specimen in legacy collections data. |
| Comments | |
| Examples | 27 BC to 14 AD |
| verbatimChronometricAgeConversionProtocol Property | |
|---|---|
| Identifier | https://zooarchnet.org/chrono/terms/verbatimChronometricAgeConversionProtocol |
| Definition | The method used for converting the verbatimChronometricAge into a chronometric age in years, as captured in the maximumChronometricAge, maximumChronometricAgeReferenceSystem, minimumChronometricAge, and minimumChronometricAgeReferenceSystem fields. For example, calibration of conventional radiocarbon age or the currently accepted age range of a cultural or geological period. |

| Examples | |
| maximumChronometricAge Property | |
|---|---|
| Identifier | https://zooarchnet.org/chrono/terms/maximumChronometricAge |
| Definition | Upper limit for the age of a specimen as determined by a dating method. The expected unit for this field is years. This field, if populated, must have an associated maximumChronometricAgeReferenceSystem. |
| Comments | |
| Examples | 27 |
| maximumChronometricAgeReferenceSystem Property | |
|---|---|
| Identifier | https://zooarchnet.org/chrono/terms/maximumChronometricAgeReferenceSystem |
| Definition | The reference system associated with the maximumChronometricAge. |
| Comments | |
| Examples | “kya”, “mya”, “BP”, “AD”, “BCE” |
| minimumChronometricAge Property | |
|---|---|
| Identifier | https://zooarchnet.org/chrono/terms/minimumChronometricAge |
| Definition | Lower limit for the age of a specimen as determined by a dating method. The expected unit for this field is years. This field, if populated, must have an associated maximumChronometricAgeReferenceSystem. |
| Comments | |
| Examples | 14 |
| minimumChronometricAgeReferenceSystem Property | |
|---|---|
| Identifier | https://zooarchnet.org/chrono/terms/minimumChronometricAgeReferenceSystem |
| Definition | The reference system associated with the minimumChronometricAge. |
| Comments | |
| Examples | “kya”, “mya”, “BP”, “AD”, “BCE” |
| chronometricAgeUncertaintyInYears Property | |
|---|---|
| Identifier | https://zooarchnet.org/chrono/terms/chronometricAgeUncertaintyInYears |
| Definition | The temporal uncertainty of the maximumChronometricAge and minimumChronometicAge, in years. |
| Comments | |
| Examples | 100 |
| chronometricAgeUncertaintyMethod Property | |
|---|---|
| Identifier | https://zooarchnet.org/chrono/terms/chronometricAgeUncertaintyMethod |
| Definition | The method used to generate the reported uncertainty calculations. |
| Comments | |
| Examples | |
| materialDated Property | |
|---|---|
| Identifier | https://zooarchnet.org/chrono/terms/materialDated |
| Definition | A description of the material on which the chronometricAgeProtocol was actually performed, if known. |
| Comments | |
| Examples | |
| materialDatedID Property | |
|---|---|
| Identifier | https://zooarchnet.org/chrono/terms/materialDatedID |
| Definition | An identifier for the material on which the chronometricAgeProtocol was performed, if applicable. |
| Comments | |
| Examples | |
| chronometricAgeProtocol Property | |
|---|---|
| Identifier | https://zooarchnet.org/chrono/terms/chronometricAgeProtocol |
| Definition | A description of or reference to the methods used to determine the ChronometricAge. |
| Comments | |
| Examples | |
| chronometricAgeReferences Property | |
|---|---|
| Identifier | https://zooarchnet.org/chrono/terms/chronometricAgeReferences |
| Definition | A list (concatenated and separated) of identifiers (publication, bibliographic reference, global unique identifier, URI) of literature associated with the ChronometricAge. |
| Comments | |
| Examples | |
