Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Ceramic typologies based on the Beaker style, which is undoubtedly continental in origin, have been used both for relative dating and as evidence of the social and economic developments of the British Bronze Age. No systematic radiocarbon dating has yet been attempted for British material and an examination of the existing radiocarbon results for the British Beakers showed many to be flawed in some way, particularly in the use of materials, such as mature wood, where there is no a priori reason for assuming a direct relationship between sample death and context. An attempt at the British Museum to test the validity of archaeologically derived chronologies for the Beaker pottery of the British Isles involved analysis of a group of carefully selected human bone samples from Beaker burials, where there is a known direct association between ceramic usage and the cessation of carbon exchange. Twenty such samples have been identifed and measured. The results presented here, combined with other previously produced determinations, show no obvious relationship between pottery style and calendar date of deposition. | |||||||||||
