BchronreadEPD {Bchron}R Documentation

Reading in of European pollen database (EPD) data

Description

A menu driven function that creates Bchron-style input files from European Pollen Database (EPD) data. Note that the EPD data must be saved to a file containing only the dating information.

Usage

BchronreadEPD()

Details

This function allows the user to cut or save data direct from the EPD and then transform it into a Bchron-style input file. Note that some of the features of the data (such as top dates, or non-radiocarbon dates) may not be preserved, so manual editing of these files may be necessary.

Value

Creates a .dat file (as specified by the user) which contains the radiocarbon dates and depths.
