Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Radiocarbon ages were measured on replicate samples of burnt grain and five mollusc species collected from a single sealed layer at an archaeological site (Hornish Point) on the west coast of South Uist, Scotland. The aim was to examine the impact of using different mollusc species on 14C activity of mollusc shells that were contemporaneous in a single location. This study found no significant variation in the 14C ages of the mollusc species, and consequently, no significant variation in calculated values of \\DeltaR. The implication is that in an area where there are no carboniferous rocks or significant local inputs of freshwater to the surface ocean, any of a range of marine mollusc species can be used in combination with short-lived terrestrial material from the same secure archaeological context to accurately determine a \\DeltaR value for a particular geographic location and period in time. | ||||||
