aion: An R Package to Represent Archaeological Time Series

Abstract

aion is designed to provide a consistent framework for representing archaeological time series that can extend very far in the past. aion provides a system of classes and methods to represent and work with such time series. This package does not provide tools for temporal analysis or modeling. Instead, it offers a system of classes and methods to represent and work with archaeological time series. This API can be extended and used by other specialized packages (see kairos v2.0 as an example)
