Metabarcoding replicate detection frequency tracks ddPCR copy number for cod and herring eDNA in ancient marine sediments

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Detecting environmental DNA (eDNA) from rare or low‐abundance aquatic species remains a major challenge, particularly when it is highly degraded, present at low concentrations, and dominated by DNA from non‐target taxa. These challenges are further amplified in sedimentary ancient DNA (sedaDNA) studies, where thousands of years can degrade ...

Textiles and Radiocarbon Dating

, 2014
Natural textiles provide suitable material for radiocarbon dating. Short-lived organic matter is usually involved and, if 14C dating is applied to pieces that are stylistically well dated, a better understanding of 14C dating of this type of material can

Radiocarbon dating of burials from the Teouma Lapita cemetery, Efate, Vanuatu [PDF]

, 2014
The discovery of a cemetery at Teouma on the island of Efate in Vanuatu dated to c. 3000 years ago increased the number of early Pacific human remains available for study by nearly an order of magnitude and provided for the first time the ability to ...

Bridging the Late Antique Gap in Northwest Arabia: New Archaeological Evidence on the Occupation of Wādī al‐Qurā (al‐ʿUlā [AlUla], Saudi Arabia) Between the Third and Seventh Centuries CE

Arabian Archaeology and Epigraphy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In 2019, the Dadan Archaeological Project (CNRS/RCU/AFALULA) identified a Late Antique village 1 km south of ancient Dadan in the al‐ʿUlā valley (northwest Saudi Arabia). Three excavation seasons at this site (2021–2023) have uncovered a massive building constructed in the late third or early fourth cent.

Geochronology of the Upper Ice Complex (Yedoma) exposed in the Batagay Megaslump, East Siberia

Arctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research
The Batagay Megaslump in eastern Siberia exposes one of the oldest permafrost archives and provides insights into Beringian paleoenvironments. However, its geochronology calls for improvement given known difficulties with permafrost dating and current ...

¹⁴C dating of modern marine and estuarine shellfish [PDF]

, 1998
We measured the ¹⁴C content of 36 living marine molluscs from Tairua Harbour and the rocky coast on the Coromandel Peninsula of New Zealand. We identified species suitable for radiocarbon dating and show that the open marine intertidal zone is enriched ...
