CRAN task view proposal: Archaeology
Scope: This task view is a list of packages useful for many kinds of archaeological science. It includes packages for working with distinctive types of archaeological data, such as radiocarbon ages, artefact types and faunal remains, packages containing archaeological datasets, and packages from closely related sciences such as environmental science that are widely used by archaeologists. It does not include packages for general purpose tasks such as importing/exporting data, data manipulation, common forms of data analysis and visualisation, and reproducible research.
Packages: See Archaeology.md.
Overlap: This task view has very little overlap with existing CTVs because many of the packages listed here are specialised for archaeological research and were developed recently. We have omitted many packages that archaeologists use often, but are already listed on other CTVs. A future CTV that is closely related could focus on biological anthropology and include data packages such as ryanraaum/qmdata and geanes/bioanth
