An Overview of the Use of Absolute Dating Techniques in Ancient Construction Materials

Geosciences, 2016
The reconstruction of the chronology of historical buildings is a tricky issue, as usually there are not historical documents that allow the assessment of construction phases, and some materials are hardly reliable for the use of dating techniques (e.g.,

Recent archaeomagnetic studies in Slovakia: Comparison of methodological approaches

Contributions to Geophysics and Geodesy, 2016
We review the recent archaeomagnetic studies carried out on the territory of Slovakia, focusing on the comparison of methodological approaches, discussing pros and cons of the individual applied methods from the perspective of our experience.

The First Archaeomagnetic Age at Tiwanaku and Implications for Dating Andean Metallurgical Furnaces

Archaeometry, Volume 68, Issue 3, Page 317-329, June 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper presents the first archaeomagnetic dating at Tiwanaku (Andean Altiplano). We compared the geomagnetic field values recorded by a metallurgical furnace against an updated SHAWQ2k‐SH global model and a regional intensity curve, both of which include, for the first time, high‐quality intensity data from the Southern Hemisphere.

Archaeomagnetic dating: investigating new materials and techniques [PDF]

, 1992
This thesis describes the application of archaeomagnetic techniques to the study of archaeological materials from Britain and China. It also explores the compilation and construction of the archaeomagnetic calibration curve, with particular reference to ...

Archaeological, archaeomagnetic and thermoluminescence investigation of a baked clay kiln excavated at Chieri, northern Italy: contribution to the rescue of our cultural heritage

Annals of Geophysics, 2014
Combining different dating techniques is fundamental to constrain the ages of archaeological findings, mainly when direct evidences for their chronological context are not available.

Kinematics of Burial Remagnetizations in Fold‐and‐Thrust Belts: A Case Study From the South Pyrenean Foreland Basin (NE Spain)

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract This study investigates two burial‐related remagnetizations in the Jaca–Pamplona foreland basin (Southern Pyrenees): one with dual polarity and a positive reversals test, and another with only reverse polarity. These components, labeled C3 and C4 based on their mean unblocking temperatures, were identified from a paleomagnetic analysis of 142 ...

Fire Along the Street of the Dead: New Comprehensive Archaeomagnetic Survey in Teotihuacan (Central Mesoamerica)

Quaternary
Teotihuacan, one of the most significant urban and ceremonial centers of ancient Mesoamerica, was abruptly abandoned in the mid-1st millennium AD. The cause and timing of its collapse—commonly placed between 600 and 650 AD—remain major questions in ...

Testing the Accuracy of Paleointensity Estimates Using Experimental Pottery Assemblages

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Paleointensity estimates from archaeological pottery represent a key source of information on Holocene variations in geomagnetic field intensity. Yet, pottery rarely exhibits ideal single‐domain behavior that fully satisfies the theoretical assumptions underlying absolute paleointensity methods.
