AMS Dating of Early Shellmounds of the Southeastern Brazilian Coast
This paper discusses the chronology of prehistoric settlements of the central-south Brazilian coast. A charcoal sample from a coastal shellmound of Rio de Janeiro State was dated by C-AMS to 7, 860± 80 years BP as part of an interdisciplinary project between physicists and archaeologists. This is an unexpected result that reinforces two similar previous early dates for the same region, which we...
متن کاملRadiocarbon chronology of the mammoth site at Niederweningen, Switzerland: Results from dating bones, teeth, wood, and peat
The peat section at Niederweningen is a site of spectacular excavations of numerous bones of mammoth and other animals that was first recognized in the late 19th century. In 1987/1990, new excavations provided more peat material, which was radiocarbon dated to 33,000 C years BP and 42,000 C years BP. The first AMS radiocarbon ages of mammoth bones from 1890/1891 excavations placed the age betwe...
متن کاملExperimental Methods of Antiquities Dating
Archaeological researches have been started as an interdisciplinary approach in the field of cultural heritage sciences (especially archaeology as an original field) for more than half a century. It has gathered together the researchers of different fields of human sciences, basic sciences, engineering and art according to their interests in archaeological findings and curiosity in solving huma...
متن کاملCorrelating the Ancient Maya and Modern European Calendars with High-Precision AMS 14C Dating
The reasons for the development and collapse of Maya civilization remain controversial and historical events carved on stone monuments throughout this region provide a remarkable source of data about the rise and fall of these complex polities. Use of these records depends on correlating the Maya and European calendars so that they can be compared with climate and environmental datasets. Correl...
متن کاملPushing the limits of AMS radiocarbon dating with improved Bayesian data analysis
An improved version of the CAR model, the Bayesian data-analysis model for AMS, is presented. Measurement error is taken to be Poisson distributed, improving the analysis for samples with only a few counts. This in turn enables pushing the limit of radiocarbon measurements to lower concentrations. On the computational side, machine drift is described with a vector of parameters and hence the us...
