PROSPECTING and DATING - Péter MÁRTON: Magnetic directional data for Hungary and their application for archaeomagnetic dating

years(AD) years (AD) Fig.L: Magnetic directional data for Hungary for the last 2000 years. Explanations of symbols: Big squares joined by a smooth line are direct observations/map readings. Big, hollow squares are archaeomagnetic results. Small, full triangles joined by a line are weighted averages of the archaeomagnetic directions. The averages were computed in overlapping windows of 100 year lenght. The increment between successive windows was 50 years. Each datum was weighted by its precision parameter (k) and exp[-(m/2)]

, where r is the distance in time between the centre points of the features's age range and that of the window divided by half of the lenght of the window (Márton, 1995) 74
