Absolute dating of the European Neolithic using the 5259 BC rapid 14C excursion [PDF]

open access: yesNature Communications
Abrupt radiocarbon (14C) excursions, or Miyake events, in sequences of radiocarbon measurements from calendar-dated tree-rings provide opportunities to assign absolute calendar dates to undated wood samples from contexts across history and prehistory ...

Dating ancient manuscripts using radiocarbon and AI-based writing style analysis. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE
Determining by means of palaeography the chronology of ancient handwritten manuscripts such as the Dead Sea Scrolls is essential for reconstructing the evolution of ideas, but there is an almost complete lack of date-bearing manuscripts. To overcome this

Bone need not remain an elephant in the room for radiocarbon dating [PDF]

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2021
Radiocarbon (14C) analysis of skeletal remains by accelerator mass spectrometry is an essential tool in multiple branches of science. However, bone 14C dating results can be inconsistent and not comparable due to disparate laboratory pretreatment ...

Radiocarbon and OSL dating on cores from the Chaoshan delta in the coastal South China Sea

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Accurate chronology plays a crucial role in reconstructing delta evolution. Radiocarbon (14C) and optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating are widely used to establish a stratigraphic chronology of the late Quaternary sediments.

Reservoirs and radiocarbon: 14C dating problems in Myvatnssveit, Northern Iceland [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
This paper examines 2 potential sources of the radiocarbon offset between human and terrestrial mammal (horse) bones recovered from Norse (~AD 870–1000) pagan graves in Mývatnssveit, north Iceland.

Constructing deposition chronologies for peat deposits using radiocarbon dating [PDF]

open access: yesMires and Peat, 2011
Radiocarbon dating is one of the main methods used to establish peat chronologies. This article reviews the basis of the method and its application to dating of peat deposits.

New results with regard to the Flora bust controversy: radiocarbon dating suggests nineteenth century origin

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Many works of art have been attributed to Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519), the great artist-scientist-engineer of the Italian Renaissance; however, art historians have struggled to find definitive proof to connect Leonardo to these art pieces.

Absolutely dating the European Neolithic through a rapid 14C excursion. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
The discovery of abrupt radiocarbon (14C) excursions (Solar Energetic Particle events, or Miyake events) in sequences of radiocarbon measurements from calendar dated tree-rings, has yielded new opportunities to assign absolute, calendar dates to undated ...

Radiocarbon and wood anatomy as complementary tools for generating tree-ring records in Bolivia

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2023
The science of tropical dendrochronology is now emerging in regions where tree-ring dating had previously not been considered possible. Here, we combine wood anatomical microsectioning techniques and radiocarbon analysis to produce the first tree-ring ...
