The dawn of archeomagnetic dating [PDF]
The use of secular variation in Earth’s magnetic field for dating purposes in archeology and volcanology began with the first developments in paleomagnetism.

A complementary, two-method spherical approach to direction-based archeomagnetic dating
We present a two-method spherical approach to archeomagnetic dating based on directional variations of the geomagnetic field after vector treatment of all data, including individual in situ structure-level data used to calculate the reference variation curve and the archeomagnetic direction to be dated. In this paper, the reference curve for France was

Further Evidence of High Intensity During the Levantine Iron Age Anomaly in Southwestern Europe: Full Vector Archeomagnetic Dating of an Early Iron Age Dwelling From Western Spain [PDF]
AbstractWe report an archeomagnetic study from the Early Iron Age archeological site of Cerro de San Vicente (Salamanca, Spain). The studied materials were sampled from one roundhouse and its central fireplace, a surrounding burnt floor, and slags with a twofold objective.

A regional archeomagnetic model for Europe for the last 3000 years, SCHA.DIF.3K: Applications to archeomagnetic dating [PDF]
The available European database of archeomagnetic field values and instrumental data has been used to produce a regional model for the geomagnetic field in Europe for the last 3000 years (from 1000 B.C. to 1900 A.D., connecting with the epoch covered by the IGRF models).

Recent eruptive history of Stromboli (Aeolian Islands, Italy) determined from high-accuracy archeomagnetic dating [PDF]
The “large sample method” of archeomagnetic dating was applied to Stromboli. 127 samples (10 sites) yielded paleofield directions with 95% confidence intervals less than 2°. Coupled with a reference curve for secular variation in western Europe, these allow accurate dating of volcanic events.

Archeomagnetic dating in western North America: An updated reference curve based on paleomagnetic and archeomagnetic data sets [PDF]
A robust database of paleomagnetic (PM) and archeomagnetic (AM) data for western North America covering the past 4 millennia is assembled from three data sets: (1) published PM data for dated lava flows, (2) recently published AM data generated by R. L. DuBois, and (3) published AM data generated by J. L. Eighmy. Chronologic information for the AM data

[1] Arrighi et al. [2004] (hereinafter referred to as AR2004) recently reported paleomagnetic directions gathered from Stromboli volcano by using the unconventional ‘‘large sample method’’ (LSM). These directions are partly different and have smaller confidence cones than those previously reported by Speranza et al.

Archeomagnetic intensity investigations of French medieval ceramic workshops: Contribution to regional field modeling and archeointensity-based dating [PDF]
Seven new archeointensity data are obtained through the analysis of groups of pottery and kiln fragments from ceramic workshops unearthed in France, precisely dated from the High Middle Ages. The measurements are carried out using the Triaxe magnetometer, following a dedicated experimental protocol that takes into account the effects of anisotropy and ...

Decadal Geomagnetic Secular Variations From Greigite Bearing Dead Sea Sediments
Archeomagnetic data from the Levant revealed periods within the Holocene with fast and extreme changes in the geomagnetic field. Yet, the availability of the archeomagnetic data is sporadic and the correlation with the available sedimentary records from ...

Reply to comment by F. Speranza et al. on “Recent eruptive history of Stromboli (Aeolian Islands, Italy) determined from high-accuracy archeomagnetic dating” [PDF]
[1] We are grateful to Speranza et al. [2005] (hereinafter referred to as SSM) for the opportunity to clarify the respective merits of the ‘‘large sample’’ and ‘‘core-drilling and stepwise demagnetization’’ methods to determine paleomagnetic directions.
