Single-year radiocarbon dating anchors Viking Age trade cycles in time
We use a solar storm to anchor the archaeological stratigraphy of a Viking Age trade centre in time. Our methods enable human interactions and cultural, climatic and environmental changes to be compared in archaeological stratigraphies worldwide.
Holocene shorelevel changes, southern Lolland and the Femern Belt, Denmark
We propose a new sea level curve for southern Lolland and the Femern Belt based on 98 radiocarbon ages. There are no indications of a higher than present sea level and no indications of 1–2 m oscillations as reported from other parts of the region.
Reconsidering the Pitted Ware chronology: A temporal fixation of the Scandinavian Neolithic hunters, fishers and gatherers
The Pitted Ware culture presents a return to hunting, fishing and gathering after the introduction of farming. By analysing more than 900 radiocarbon dates, we explore where and how this phenomenon emerged and spread throughout Scandinavia.
Approaches to determine reservoir effects in elk/moose
Elks have been observed to consume large amounts of aquatic plants. But does this lead to reservoir effects in elk bones?
δ13C values of wood and charcoal reveal broad isotopic ranges at the base of the food web
Dietary reconstruction requires good knowledge of the baseline, i.e. the isotope values of the food. By analysing wood samples as a proxy for plant food, we demonstrate that a large variability of food isotope values has to be expected.
Eight New Late Pleistocene/Early Holocene AMS Dates from the Southeastern Baltic
Our study significantly adds to the still small number of existing absolutely dated artifacts from the region and proposes new ways of viewing the Final Palaeolithic and Early Mesolithic chronology in the southeastern Baltic.
