Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
It has previously been suggested that radiocarbon dating is applicable to pedogenic carbonate. However, the validity of radiocarbon dates from pedogenic carbonate remained poorly understood because of the relatively low resolution of chronological controls. In this study the authors compared the radiocarbon dates (a total of twenty-one) of thin (0.2--0.3 mm in thickness) laminae of pedogenic carbonate coatings on clasts from Holocene archaeological sites in the eastern Mediterranean and south Siberia with independently estimated age-ranges for these sites. A high correlation was obtained between the oldest laminae of coatings with the site ages. The 14C ages of pedogenic carbonate were systematically younger by c. 0.3--1.6 ka (mean c. 0.75 ka) compared with archaeological sites. This finding suggests that pedogenic carbonate -- despite potential complicating factors -- can be dated more accurately with 14C than has been generally appreciated. | ||||
