The Layout and Internal Development of Celtic Fields: Structural and Relative Chronological Analyses of Three Danish Field Systems

“…In this project, a stochastic optimization algorithm called ‘simulated annealing’ (SA) (Kirkpatrick et al, 1983), implemented in the computer program Tempo, has been used for the analysis (Holst & Holst, 2004). 1 The sort obtained through the Tempo analysis is presented as an ordered graph with the vertical axis representing the directed ordering of the entities, that is, a temporal progression from bottom to top in a relative chronological analysis or hierarchical levels of dependence in datasets with relations of subordination.…”
