Validity of radiocarbon ages of Siberian yedoma
Abstract The ice wedges are considered as key subjects for 14C aging of yedoma, as there are no any exchange processes between the environment and the ice wedges. Syngenetic sediments contain allochthonous organic admixtures which originated at a distance from its present position.

Abstract A novel instrument for the thermal degradation of sedimentary organic matter was set up at the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI) in Bremerhaven, Germany, with the aim of enabling Ramped Pyrolysis/Oxidation‐14C analysis as direct CO2 gas measurement.

ABSTRACT The early evolutionary history of modern domestic horses (Equus caballus/Equus ferus caballus), known as the DOM2 lineage, is well documented due to numerous archaeological and ancient DNA (aDNA) studies. Although many uncertainties remain in the domestication timeline, current evidence suggests that the domestication of modern horses began in

Lamont Radiocarbon Measurements VI
In contrast to previous radiocarbon measurement lists, this list contains only known-age samples, most of which formed during the past ten years. The measurements were made largely in order to gain an understanding of the distribution of radiocarbon ...

Methodological approaches to determining the marine radiocarbon reservoir effect [PDF]
The marine radiocarbon reservoir effect is an offset in 14C age between contemporaneous organisms from the terrestrial environment and organisms that derive their carbon from the marine environment.

Needle in a haystack: Holocene history of European larch in Central Europe revisited
Defining nativity of species is crucial for their management. However, this is a complex task, especially for species that have been used and spread by humans for a long time. We combined paleoecological records with extensive genetic data to investigate the Holocene history of European larch—a common and economically important tree species in Central ...

Over the last 25 years, perceptions of the early prehistory of Northwest Africa have undergone radical changes due to new fieldwork projects and a corresponding growth in scientific interest in the region. Much of this work has been focused in Morocco, known for its extremely rich fossil and archaeological records in caves and rock shelters.
