Radiocarbon Dating of Neolithic Pottery

open access: yes, 2009
The direct measurement of organic matter included in archaeological pottery may yield a reliable assessment of age. The main problem consists in the identification of possible origins and assessment of distortion for the age of organic inclusions.

Timing the Sacred: A Multi‐Step Chronological Framework for the Llullaillaco Inca Burial

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Absolute radiocarbon dating offers high precision, but its application to historical contexts, such as the Inca civilization, requires a rigorous methodological approach. This research examines methods to enhance chronological accuracy through a case study of artifacts from the Llullaillaco Capacocha sacrifice.

Radiocarbon age of Vertisols and its interpretation using data on gilgai complex in the North Caucasus.

open access: yes, 2001
Radiocarbon dates were analyzed to assess Vertisols age around the world. They show an increase of radiocarbon age from mainly modern-3000 BP in 0-100 cm layer up to 10,000 BP at a depth 100-200 cm. Older dates reflect the age of parent material.

Geomagnetic Intensity of Hellenistic Pottery and Stamped Rhodian Wine Amphorae From Jerusalem

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Stamped amphora handles produced on Rhodes during the Hellenistic period are well suited for archaeointensity studies because they often bear the names of annually appointed magistrates (eponyms) and fabricants, allowing dating to narrow time intervals.

A Bayesian Framework for Age Modeling of Radiocarbon-Dated Peat Deposits: Case Studies from the Netherlands

open access: yes, 2007
Recently, Bayesian statistical software has been developed for age-depth modeling (wiggle-match dating) of sequences of densely spaced radiocarbon dates from peat cores.

Insights into Lake Baikal Radiocarbon Age Offsets from a Database of AMS Radiocarbon Age Estimates

open access: yes
Abstract. Radiocarbon dates are an essential tool for dating non-varved lake sediments, however their interpretation is hindered by issues such as reservoir age or contamination which culminate in age estimates that can be thousands of years younger or older than the true depositional age of that sediment (we call this an age offset).

Provisioning a Silk Road City: Herd Management Strategies at the Urban Site of Dzhankent, Kazakhstan

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents evidence for herd management at the early medieval city of Dzhankent in southern Kazakhstan. Located along the Northern Silk Road, Dzhankent was a key trading node linking northern and southern areas between the 9th and 10th centuries ce.

INTCAL98 radiocarbon age calibration, 24,000-0 cal BP.

open access: yes, 1998
The focus of this paper is the conversion of radiocarbon ages to calibrated (cal) ages for the interval 24,000-0 cal BP (Before Present, 0 cal BP = AD 1950), based upon a sample set of dendrochronologically dated tree rings, uranium-thorium dated corals,

Coffins From the Abusir Tomb of Nyankhseshat (AS 104) Through the Lens of Wood Analysis

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACTThis article presents the results of an integrated Egyptological and anatomical study of wooden coffin fragments from the mastaba of Nyankhseshat at Abusir South (AS 104), dated to the early Fourth Dynasty. The assemblage includes remains of at least three coffins and probably of two wooden boxes. Wood analysis identified predominantly imported

AMS RADIOCARBON DATING OF ANCIENT BONE USING ULTRAFILTRATION

open access: yes, 2006
The Oxford Radiocarbon Accelerator Unit (ORAU) has used an ultrafiltration protocol to further purify gelatin from archaeological bone since 2000. In this paper, the methodology is described, and it is shown that, in many instances, ultrafiltration ...
