title = "Scale in tephrostratigraphic correlation: An example from Turkish Pleistocene archaeological sites",
abstract = "Issues of scale are persistent but rarely made explicit in tephrostratigraphy. Eruption magnitude, the nature of available outcrop, and the resolution and type of data available define the scale of any proposed correlation. Different scales require different approaches to demonstrate, or more accurately, to estimate the likelihood of correlation among two or more deposits. This is emphasized through a probabilistic approach to the correlation of proximal and distal tephra deposits associated with Lower and Middle Paleolithic archaeological sites from central Turkey through the use of discriminant analyses and multiple analyses of variance.",

note = "Funding Information: The work reported in this paper was funded by grants from the Leakey Foundation , the Wenner-Gren Foundation , and New York University , and is the outcome of numerous discussions with and encouragement from David Lowe, Christopher Campisano, Kieran McNulty, Anthony Philpotts, Jeremy Delaney, Matthew Tocheri, Rhonda Kauffman, and everyone at INQUA{\textquoteright}s Active Tephra in Kyushu conference. Many of the ideas here, more fully developed in Kyushu, owe their original genesis to Tryon{\textquoteright}s invitation by David Killick to speak at the National Science Foundation IGERT-funded program in Archaeological Science at the University of Arizona and the discussion that ensued. Nicholas Pearce, Lindsay McHenry, and an anonymous reviewer provided excellent comments that substantially improved the quality of the manuscript. This is a contribution towards meeting objective three of the INTREPID project of INQUA{\textquoteright}s International focus group on tephrochronology and volcanism. ",
