When dental enamel is put to the acid test: pretreatment effects and radiocarbon dating by Hopkins, R, Snoeck, C, Higham, T

“…The influence of hydrochloric acid pretreatment on F14C and radiocarbon dates from dental enamel was investigated. …”

Radiocarbon dating redefines the timing and circumstances of the chicken’s introduction to Europe and northwest Africa by Best, J, Doherty, S, Armit, I, Cunliffe, B, Higham, T, Lebrasseur, O, Trentacoste, A, Larson, G

“…To better understand their spatiotemporal spread across Eurasia and Africa, we radiocarbon dated presumed early chicken bones. The results indicate chickens were an Iron Age arrival to Europe and that there was a consistent time-lag of several centuries between their introduction to new regions and incorporation into the human diet. …”

Radiocarbon dating wooden carvings and skeletal remains from Pitch Lake, Trinidad by Brock, F, Ostapkowicz, J, Wiedenhoeft, A, Bull, I

“…Establishing a chronology for these objects is challenging, due to both a lack of stratigraphic and contextual information and the necessity to completely remove any pitch to ensure accurate radiocarbon dates. A range of solvent extraction protocols was tested to identify the most suitable one for pretreating the Pitch Lake artefacts, and then applied to ten wooden objects and a human cranium recovered from the lake. …”

Near-infrared hyperspectral imaging to map collagen content in prehistoric bones for radiocarbon dating by Cristina Malegori, Giorgia Sciutto, Paolo Oliveri, Silvia Prati, Lucrezia Gatti, Emilio Catelli, Stefano Benazzi, Silvia Cercatillo, Dragana Paleček, Rocco Mazzeo, Sahra Talamo

“…Abstract Many of the rarest prehistoric bones found by archaeologists are enormously precious and are considered to be part of our cultural and historical patrimony. Radiocarbon dating is a well-established technique that estimates the ages of bones by analysing the collagen still present. …”

Radiocarbon dating of a multi-phase passage tomb on Baltinglass Hill, Co. Wicklow by Schulting, R, McClatchie, M, Sheridan, A, McLaughlin, R, Barratt, P, Whitehouse, N

“…Here, we present the results of a radiocarbon dating programme on charred wheat grains and hazelnut shell found underlying the cairn, and on cremated human bone found within and near two of the monument’s five chambers. …”

Pre-screening techniques for identification of samples suitable for radiocarbon dating of poorly preserved bones by Brock, F, Higham, T, Ramsey, C

“…Under certain environmental conditions, post-depositional diagenetic loss of bone collagen can severely reduce the number of bones from a particular archaeological site that are suitable for stable isotopic analysis or radiocarbon dating. This study examined nearly 300 bones from 12 archaeological sites across southern England known to yield poor or variable preservation to try to identify one, or more, pre-screening technique(s) that would indicate suitable collagen preservation for radiocarbon dating. …”
