description This dataset is the outcome of an INSTAP-funded project “An Aegean Prehistory Written in Radiocarbon Dates”. It includes 3159 14C dates from 353 sites in Greece and reflects an attempt to exhaustively collect and cross-check all published radiocarbon dates from existing databases, original publications and preliminary reports using both international and Greek sources (376 sources in total). Although originally targeting prehistoric dates, all dates coming from archaeological or environmental sampling were integrated in the final dataset regardless of chronological period. Sites have been identified and positioned as accurately as possible, while additional information on sampling procedures, sample material and stratigraphic context have been recorded.   Funding statement: The Institute for Aegean Prehistory (INSTAP) provided the core funding for the “An Aegean Prehistory Written in Radiocarbon Dates” project which ran between 2016–2017. Previous support by INSTAP to Yannis Maniatis for the radiocarbon dating of Early Neolithic settlements in Greece in NCSR Demokritos Radiocarbon Laboratory allowed for several dates to be processed and included in the present work. Work related to data cleaning and terminology mapping was implemented as part of the dataset preparation process to be ingested in the ARIADNEplus portal. ARIADNEplus (Advanced Research Infrastructure for Archaeological Database Networking in Europe) is a project funded by the European Commission under the H2020 Programme, contract no.
