Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Two views of archaeological time are distinguished; an event view that models stratigraphic relations, and a substance view that models genealogical relations among artifacts, including the three modes of change represented by branching, transformation, and reticulation. Chronology construction is more complex in substance time than it is in event time, which only concerns transformation. Allen's interval algebra can be used to specify the chronological relations associated with the modes of change, and these relations can be identified by post-processing the output from Bayesian chronological models. A worked example illustrates how identifying the chronological relations can aid construction of a phyletic seriation of beads recovered from Anglo-Saxon female graves. These results might encourage archaeologists to carry out chronology construction in substance time as an aid to historical inference.
