The thermal-age.eu website is under development. Beta testing will begin in the coming months.
Thermal-age.eu is the development site for JRA 1: PrediCtoR A novel decision-making software tool being developed within the framework of SYNTHESYS, the European Union-funded Integrated Activities project designed to help collections managers and users to quantify the risks associated with destructive analysis of specimens. Thermal.age.eu intends to simplify the calculation of thermal ages (1) to enable researchers to predict the likely survival of DNA and other molecules in archaeological and fossil samples.
