Archaeology in Oceania, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Shell middens in Gippsland along the eastern half of Victoria's coastline have usually been characterised as small, short‐duration camp sites with relatively low shell densities and low taxonomic diversity. Here we present new excavation results from a dense, high‐diversity site at Red Bluff near the eastern end of GunaiKurnai Country, a ...

Tartu Radiocarbon Dates XII [PDF]
Radiocarbon, 1976 IntroductionThis list includes dates of geological samples measured using a single-channel liquid scintillation 14C counter at the Geochemical and Statistical Laboratory, Tartu, Estonia. Our modern standard is made of benzene enriched in 14C, and its activity is checked with NBS oxalic acid standard sample.

Zooarchaeological Analysis of an Atoll Assemblage From Central Micronesia
Archaeology in Oceania, EarlyView.ABSTRACT There has been a dearth of archaeological research on atolls in the central‐eastern Caroline Islands of Micronesia. This has limited our understanding of pre‐contact subsistence and settlement strategies in these more marginal and remote environments, particularly in regards to zooarchaeological data.

MatCal: Open Source Bayesian 14C Age Calibration in Matlab
Journal of Open Research Software, 2016 The matcal function provides radiocarbon (14C) age calibration in Matlab using the Bayesian highest posterior density (HPD). The function produces a probability distribution function (PDF) of calibrated ages, as well as 1 sigma (68.27%) and 2 sigma (95 ...

A Probable Approx. 2400 Year Solar Quasi-cycle in Atmospheric Delta C-14 [PDF]
, 1990 A 2200 to 2600 year quasi-periodicity is present in atmospheric delta C-14 records after removal of long-term trends due to the geomagnetic dipole amplitude variation.

Radiocarbon, 1974 A radiocarbon facility has been installed at the University of California, Riverside (UCR) to support interdisciplinary studies including archaeologic, archaeometric, geophysical, and geologic research. The laboratory was built between 1970 and 1973. Initially, a sample pretreatment and combustion system designed for a proportional CO2 counting system ...

Archaeology in Oceania, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The archaeological site Graman B4 provided one of the first records of substantial dietary change in ancient Australian Aboriginal society. Initial examination of the faunal remains from this site suggested that Late Holocene hunters reduced their focus on high‐ranked kangaroos to increasingly rely on arboreal possums; and that these ...

Pattern of extinction of the woolly mammoth in Beringia. [PDF]
, 2012 Extinction of the woolly mammoth in Beringia has long been subject to research and speculation. Here we use a new geo-referenced database of radiocarbon-dated evidence to show that mammoths were abundant in the open-habitat of Marine Isotope Stage 3 (∼45-
