  • Late-Quaternary Icelandic tephras in Ireland and Great Britain

    Valerie A Hall, J R Pilcher•ARTICLE•The Holocene•2002•Citada por: 16•Referencias: 3

    Microscopic studies of late-Quaternary tephras from Iceland yield a detailed tephrochronology in deposits of the British Isles, where the quantities of volcanic glass employed are much less than those used to construct almost any other late-Quatemary tephrochronology. We summarize improved methods of isolating extremely sparse glass shards for light microscope and electron microprobe analysis and provide major element geochemistry for 20 volcanic…

  • Variations of Radiocarbon in Tree Rings

    Open Access•F G Mccormac, A G Hogg et al.•ARTICLE•Radiocarbon•1998•Citada por: 20•Referencias: 25

    The Queen's University of Belfast, Northern Ireland and University of Waikato, Hamilton, New Zealand radiocarbon laboratories have undertaken a series of high-precision measurements on decadal samples of dendrochronologically dated oak ( Quercus patrea ) and cedar ( Libocedrus bidwillii ) from Great Britain and New Zealand, respectively. The results show a real atmospheric offset of 3.4 ± 0.6% (27.2 ± 4.7 14 C yr) between the two locations for th…

  • Radiocarbon dating of a recent high latitude peat profile

    Open Access•Frank Oldfield, Roy Thompson et al.•ARTICLE•The Holocene•1997•Citada por: 18•Referencias: 3

    The value of both high-precision (HP) and AMS 14 C determinations in the fine-resolution dating of recent peat at Stor Åmyrân, near Umeå, northern Sweden has been explored. A detailed chronology of accumu lation, based on 14 C, an occurrence of the Askja AD 1875 tephra and 241 Am measurements has been derived for the last 700 years. This shows significant changes in the mass balance of the peat profile, with minimum rates of net carbon sequestrat…

  • Dates of Holocene Icelandic volcanic eruptions from tephra layers in Irish peats

    Open Access•J R Pilcher, Valerie A Hall et al.•ARTICLE•The Holocene•1995•Citada por: 34

    Tephra from historic and prehistoric eruptions of Oraefajøkull and Hekla, Iceland, have been found in Irish peats. Using a series of stratigraphically related high-precision radiocarbon measure ments, the date of a known-age eruption has been satisfactorily estimated. Based on the same techniques, the calendrical date of the Hekla 4 eruption has been estimated as 2310 ± 20 BC

  • Location-Dependent Differences in the 14 C Content of Wood

    Open Access•F G Mccormac, M G L Baillie et al.•ARTICLE•Radiocarbon•1995•Citada por: 25•Referencias: 24

    The long 14 C chronologies currently used as calibration curves combine results from wood that grew in the western United States, the British Isles and Germany. Although these results show few significant differences in the 14 C content of contemporaneous wood when averaged over the length of the chronology ( i.e. , the means of overlapping sections of chronology are the same), closer examination shows considerable variability. Separating the sec…

  • Δ 13 C Measurements from the Irish Oak Chronology

    Measurements of the stable isotope ratio 13 C/ 12 C, relative to PDB, were made for fractionation correction purposes on all oak samples used in the Irish oak 14 C calibration curve. Stable isotope data have not been published previously. We have collated the stable isotope data from the calibration work, carried out some further measurements to investigate anomalies in the original results, and generated tables of data that include site and tree…

  • The Dating by Dendrochronology of Three Northamptonshire Halls

    G I Meirion-Jones, J R Pilcher et al.•ARTICLE•Vernacular Architecture•1987

    Timber in the roofs of the great halls at Abington Hall, Boughton House and Upton Hall has been sampled for dendrochronological analysis. The roof at Abington is of single hammer-beam construction. Those at Boughton and Upton, along with that formerly over the hall at Fawsley, form a distinct group of late-medieval hall roofs characterised by principal and intermediate collar-beam arch-braced trusses. Cusped bracing within the trusses, cusped win…

    High-precision measurement of dendrochronologically dated Irish oak at bi-decade/decade intervals has continued in the Belfast laboratory, extending the 14 C data base from ca AD 1840 to 5210 BC. The dendrochronology is now considered absolute (see Belfast dendrochronology this conference) (Brown et al , 1986) and a continuous detailed curve is presented, showing the natural variations in the atmospheric concentration of 14 C over >7000 years. Ea…

    Since the 11th International Radiocarbon Conference considerable advances have been made in European dendrochronology giving several long continuous absolute chronologies. Recent collaboration between European laboratories provides confirmation of the accuracy of these chronologies and, thus, of the standards used for radiocarbon calibration

  • Dendrochronology at Belfast as a Background to High-Precision Calibration

    Open Access•M G L Baillie, J R Pilcher et al.•ARTICLE•Radiocarbon•1983•Citada por: 7•Referencias: 6

    The tree-ring program at Belfast originally aimed at the construction of a 6000-year oak chronology. The stimulus for this work came from the large numbers of sub-fossil oaks uncovered in Northern Ireland during land drainage and motorway construction in the late 1960's (Pilcher et al 1977). It became clear that any attempt to build such a long chronology would break naturally into two distinct units. One unit related to the construction of a pre…

  • Implications of a European radiocarbon calibration

    Open Access•J R Pilcher, M G L Baillie•ARTICLE•Antiquity•1978•Citada por: 2•Referencias: 6

    Clark (1975) gave a clear account to ANTIQUITY readers of the current state of the radiocarbon calibration problem. It is now 19 years since De Vries demonstrated that one of the primary assumptions of the radiocarbon dating method was in error. Since then more than 1,200 measurements have been made on samples of known-age wood and over 70 papers published on this topic (reviewed by Bermingham and Renfrew, 1972 and by Clark, 1975). In spite of th…

    High-precision measurement of dendrochronologically dated Irish oak at bi-decade/decade intervals has continued in the Belfast laboratory, extending the 14 C data base from ca AD 1840 to 5210 BC. The dendrochronology is now considered absolute (see Belfast dendrochronology this conference) (Brown et al , 1986) and a continuous detailed curve is presented, showing the natural variations in the atmospheric concentration of 14 C over >7000 years. Ea…

  • Dendrochronology—The Absolute Irish Standard

    Open Access•D M Brown, M A R Munro et al.•ARTICLE•Radiocarbon•1986•Citada por: 6•Referencias: 1

    Since the 11th International Radiocarbon Conference considerable advances have been made in European dendrochronology giving several long continuous absolute chronologies. Recent collaboration between European laboratories provides confirmation of the accuracy of these chronologies and, thus, of the standards used for radiocarbon calibration

  • The Dating by Dendrochronology of Three Northamptonshire Halls

    G I Meirion-Jones, J R Pilcher et al.•ARTICLE•Vernacular Architecture•1987

    Timber in the roofs of the great halls at Abington Hall, Boughton House and Upton Hall has been sampled for dendrochronological analysis. The roof at Abington is of single hammer-beam construction. Those at Boughton and Upton, along with that formerly over the hall at Fawsley, form a distinct group of late-medieval hall roofs characterised by principal and intermediate collar-beam arch-braced trusses. Cusped bracing within the trusses, cusped win…

  • Δ 13 C Measurements from the Irish Oak Chronology

    Open Access•F G Mccormac, M G L Baillie et al.•ARTICLE•Radiocarbon•1994•Citada por: 5•Referencias: 4

    Measurements of the stable isotope ratio 13 C/ 12 C, relative to PDB, were made for fractionation correction purposes on all oak samples used in the Irish oak 14 C calibration curve. Stable isotope data have not been published previously. We have collated the stable isotope data from the calibration work, carried out some further measurements to investigate anomalies in the original results, and generated tables of data that include site and tree…

  • Dates of Holocene Icelandic volcanic eruptions from tephra layers in Irish peats

    Open Access•J R Pilcher, Valerie A Hall et al.•ARTICLE•The Holocene•1995•Citada por: 34

    Tephra from historic and prehistoric eruptions of Oraefajøkull and Hekla, Iceland, have been found in Irish peats. Using a series of stratigraphically related high-precision radiocarbon measure ments, the date of a known-age eruption has been satisfactorily estimated. Based on the same techniques, the calendrical date of the Hekla 4 eruption has been estimated as 2310 ± 20 BC

  • Location-Dependent Differences in the 14 C Content of Wood

    Open Access•F G Mccormac, M G L Baillie et al.•ARTICLE•Radiocarbon•1995•Citada por: 25•Referencias: 24

    The long 14 C chronologies currently used as calibration curves combine results from wood that grew in the western United States, the British Isles and Germany. Although these results show few significant differences in the 14 C content of contemporaneous wood when averaged over the length of the chronology ( i.e. , the means of overlapping sections of chronology are the same), closer examination shows considerable variability. Separating the sec…

  • Radiocarbon dating of a recent high latitude peat profile

    Open Access•Frank Oldfield, Roy Thompson et al.•ARTICLE•The Holocene•1997•Citada por: 18•Referencias: 3

    The value of both high-precision (HP) and AMS 14 C determinations in the fine-resolution dating of recent peat at Stor Åmyrân, near Umeå, northern Sweden has been explored. A detailed chronology of accumu lation, based on 14 C, an occurrence of the Askja AD 1875 tephra and 241 Am measurements has been derived for the last 700 years. This shows significant changes in the mass balance of the peat profile, with minimum rates of net carbon sequestrat…

    The Queen's University of Belfast, Northern Ireland and University of Waikato, Hamilton, New Zealand radiocarbon laboratories have undertaken a series of high-precision measurements on decadal samples of dendrochronologically dated oak ( Quercus patrea ) and cedar ( Libocedrus bidwillii ) from Great Britain and New Zealand, respectively. The results show a real atmospheric offset of 3.4 ± 0.6% (27.2 ± 4.7 14 C yr) between the two locations for th…

  • Late-Quaternary Icelandic tephras in Ireland and Great Britain

    Valerie A Hall, J R Pilcher•ARTICLE•The Holocene•2002•Citada por: 16•Referencias: 3

    Microscopic studies of late-Quaternary tephras from Iceland yield a detailed tephrochronology in deposits of the British Isles, where the quantities of volcanic glass employed are much less than those used to construct almost any other late-Quatemary tephrochronology. We summarize improved methods of isolating extremely sparse glass shards for light microscope and electron microprobe analysis and provide major element geochemistry for 20 volcanic…
