Constructing deposition chronologies for peat deposits using radiocarbon dating [PDF]

open access: yesMires and Peat, 2011
Radiocarbon dating is one of the main methods used to establish peat chronologies. This article reviews the basis of the method and its application to dating of peat deposits.

Between a rock and a soft place: Using optical ages to date ancient clam gardens on the Pacific Northwest. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
Rock-walled archaeological features are notoriously hard to date, largely because of the absence of suitable organic material for radiocarbon dating. This study demonstrates the efficacy of dating clam garden wall construction using optical dating, and ...

Chronology of Central European Impulses in the Volga Forest Region: Fatyanovo and Abashevo Cultures

open access: yesПоволжская археология, 2023
There is a difference in chronology based on radiocarbon dating and historical dates associated with Near Eastern written sources. With the introduction of AMS dating, this gap has become smaller, but has not disappeared.

Radiocarbon dating — modern state, problem, prospects of development and use in archaeology

open access: yesВестник археологии, антропологии и этнографии, 2016
Basic principles of radiocarbon dating are presented in the article. History of the method development and modern state are shown. Difficulties appeared under the radiocarbon dating and approaches, permitting to present the received results correctly are

Seeking the Holy Grail

open access: yesDocumenta Praehistorica, 2018
The strengths of formal Bayesian chronological modelling are restated, combining as it does knowledge of the archaeology with the radiocarbon dating of carefully chosen samples of known taphonomy in association with diagnostic material culture.

Biases in radiocarbon dating of organic fractions in sediments from meromictic and seasonally hypoxic lakes [PDF]

open access: yesBulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 2019
We present here radiocarbon dating results from two boreal lakes in Finland, which are permanently (meromictic) or seasonally stratified and contain continuous sequences of annually laminated sediments that started to form in the early Holocene.

Fresh litter acts as a substantial phosphorus source of plant species appearing in primary succession on volcanic ash soil

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Plants have difficulty absorbing phosphorus from volcanic ash soils owing to the adsorption of phosphorus by aluminum and iron in the soils. Thus, on volcanic ash soils, the phosphorus source for natural vegetation is expected to be organic matter ...

RADIOCARBON DATING: PAST, PRESENT-DAY AND FUTURE - DEVELOPMENT OF I.P. GERASIMOV IDEAS

open access: yesБюллетень Почвенного института им. В.В. Докучаева, 2015
The ideas of I.P. Gerasimov on the radiocarbon soil age are outlined; the notions of absolute and relative soil age introduced by him are defined. Current trends in organic matter dating are discussed.
