The stable oxygen isotope (δ18O) composition of ancient teak log coffins captures the Asian monsoon 2000 years ago in northwestern Thailand

open access: closedTheoretical and Applied Climatology, 2021
The past climate in northwestern Thailand remains insufficiently understood because of the limitation of climate proxies. We present a new record of paleoclimate activity during 2050–1551 years BP (before the present), based on the analysis of the oxygen isotope ratios (δ18O) of tree-ring cellulose in ancient teak log coffins excavated from Namjang ...

The Emergence and Development of Split Log Coffins in South Korea during the Iron Age

open access: closedThe Yeongnam Archaeological Society, 2022
The split log coffin burial in South Korea is largely divided into seven stages. Stage I(250~200 B.C.) featured an attached-round rim vessel and a bronze implement; Stage II(199~100 B.C.) a type Ⅰ rectangular cast-iron axe; Stage III(101~50 B.C.) an attached-triangular rim vessel, a type-II rectangular cast-iron axe, a type-I lozenge cast-iron axe, and

The potential of teak log coffins collected from Namjang Cave in Northwestern Thailand for studying the coffin culture and paleoclimate in Southeast Asia

open access: closedArchaeological and Anthropological Sciences, 2020
Ancient teak log coffins found in Namjang (NJ) Cave, Pang Ma Pha district of Mae Hong Son province in Northwestern (NW) Thailand, were dated using a combination of C-14 dating and cross-dating techniques. The longest tree-ring width chronology (i.e., the CoffinNJ index) in Thailand covered a 477-year period from 106 BC to AD 371. The ages of the NJ log

Preservation Within Log Coffins Before and After Barrow Construction

open access: closedJournal of Archaeological Science, 2003
Abstract A limited number of South Scandinavian barrows from the Bronze Age contains several burials with well-preserved organic material including remnants of the dead. In some cases there are indications of an accumulation of the burials over some time before the barrow was erected.

Tree-ring oxygen isotope chronology of teak log coffins in northwestern Thailand and its relationship with Pacific Decadal Oscillation and El Niño-Southern Oscillation

open access: closedQuaternary International, 2021
Abstract We developed a stable oxygen isotope chronology of tree-ring alpha cellulose (δ18OTR) from archaeological teak (Tectona grandis L.f.) samples from Mae Hong Son (MHS) province, northwestern Thailand. The samples were collected from ancient coffins belonging to the log coffin culture excavated at the Ban Rai rock shelter (BR).

14C analyses at the ANTARES AMS Centre: Dating the log coffins of northwest Thailand

open access: closedNuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section B: Beam Interactions with Materials and Atoms, 1994
Abstract Recent results of 14 C analyses at the ANTARES AMS Centre are presented. Test measurements of 14 C blanks demonstrate an ultimate sensitivity of the order of 10 −15 ( 14 C/ 12 C ratio). Measurements of unknowns have been made with a precision in the range 1–1.5% using a “slow cycling” mode of operation where the injection magnet field is ...

Physical and chemical properties of the ancient glass beads from the highland log-coffin culture and the lowland areas, Thailand: Considerations on their colors and technology

open access: closedJournal of Archaeological Science: Reports, 2016
Abstract The ancient glass beads from a log coffin cave at Pang Mapha, Mae Hong Son as well as from Sa Kaeo, Thailand, were studied for their physical and chemical properties. The samples have an average specific gravity of 2.25, and an average refractive index of 1.55.

Recent Studies on the Formation of Iron Pans around the Oaken Log Coffins of the Bronze Age Burial Mounds of Denmark

open access: closedJournal of Archaeological Science, 1998
In 1921 a burial mound from the Danish Early Bronze Age was excavated near the village of Egtved, Central Jutland. The mound contained a well-preserved oaken log coffin with remnants of a young woman, the Egtved girl. The central parts of the mound including the coffin were surrounded by a strongly cemented iron pan from which a number of samples were ...
