Dealing With Inbuilt Age: A Bayesian Approach to Radiocarbon Dating of Rice, Bamboo and Charcoal From Non Ban Jak, Thailand

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT New radiocarbon determinations from rice grains and bamboo have been obtained from Non Ban Jak, Northeast Thailand. These, along with charcoal, date a late Iron Age building sequence. The results come from short‐lived species and charcoal with potential inbuilt age. We built a series of Bayesian models to obtain a reliable chronology.

Multiple indicators record human adaptations to climatic change during the Middle Holocene at the Wanbei site in the middle and lower Huai River valley, China

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
The archaeological sediment sequences analysis from the Wanbei site reveals a predominantly warm and humid climate with a brief cooling phase between 5600 and 5400 a BP, during the Middle Holocene in the middle and lower Huai River valley. Despite the cooling trend, rice remained the dominant crop in mixed farming, while the proportion of millet ...
