Abstract
We propose a novel method for automatically estimating the age of birch bark manuscripts based solely on the appearance of graphemes (paleographic dating). Our method achieves mean absolute accuracy of 18.9 years which is comparable to or surpasses the performance of human experts and of other computational paleography studies.
