  • Atmospheric Co 2 Carbon Isotope Composition in Urban and Clean Areas of the Northern Adriatic Coast of Croatia

    Open AccessAndreja Sironić, Emma Hess et al.ARTICLERadiocarbon2024References: 60

    Over the course of one year (2021), we monitored the carbon isotope composition of atmospheric CO 2 at three locations in Croatia: the Adriatic port city of Rijeka (Cfa climate) and at two rural sites: Gornje Jelenje (Cfb climate) in the vicinity of a main road and clean-air site Parg (Dfb climate). Carbon isotope composition at all sites shows seasonal variation, ranging from –41.3 to 25.2‰ for Δ 14 C and from –13.1 to –11.3‰ for δ 13 C. Rijeka …

  • Radiocarbon Mortar Dating Intercomparison Modis2—approach From the Zagreb Radiocarbon Laboratory, Croatia

    Open AccessAndreja Sironić, Alexander Cherkinsky et al.ARTICLERadiocarbon2024References: 32

    The Second International Mortar Dating Intercomparison Study (MODIS2) took place in 2020. Three mortar samples from different sites and chronologies were distributed among various research groups in form of bulk mortar and grain fraction smaller than 150 μm. This is the first time the Zagreb Radiocarbon Laboratory, with support of the Center of Applied Isotope Studies, University of Georgia, took part in the international mortar intercomparison. …

  • Chronology of hominin activity at Vindija Cave, Croatia

    Open AccessIvor Karavanić, Ines Krajcar Bronić et al.ARTICLEAntiquity2024References: 8

    The project 'Last Neanderthals at the Crossroads of Central Europe and the Mediterranean' (NECEM) combines lithic analyses of previously excavated material with new sampling for dating and environmental DNA. New radiocarbon dates from Vindija, presented here, help clarify the chronology of late Neanderthal and early modern human occupations in South-eastern and Central Europe

  • Application of 14 C Method to Chronology of the Croatian Dinaric Karst—a Case of the Plitvice Lakes

    Open AccessInes Krajcar Bronić, Jadranka Barešić et al.ARTICLERadiocarbon2022Cited by: 1References: 47

    Karst environments preserve some of the best archives of past climate, vegetation, hydrology, anthropogenic impact, and landscape evolution providing that a reliable chronology can be established. Here we present an example of the system of the Plitvice Lakes (Dinaric karst, Croatia), which is characterized by intensive tufa and lake sediment formations. The radiocarbon dating method, combined with some other dating methods and various geochemica…

    In this paper we present dating of archaeological samples from Croatia only performed since our last reports (Obelić et al. 2011; Horvatinčić et al. 2012). Liquid scintillation radiometric measurement technique with benzene synthesis (LSC-B) and accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) technique were applied

  • Radiocarbon Dating of Mortar from the Aqueduct in Skopje

    Open AccessAndreja Sironić, Damir Borković et al.ARTICLERadiocarbon2019Cited by: 2References: 36

    The Aqueduct is one of the city landmarks of Skopje, Republic of North Macedonia. It was part of a water-supply system, with a total original length of about 10 km, while its surface remains are about 385 m long. The age of the Aqueduct is not known—several hypotheses place it to periods between the 6th and 16th centuries. Six mortar samples from different positions of the eastern façade were taken for radiocarbon ( 14 C) dating. In order to extr…

  • Zagrada—The New Zagreb Radiocarbon Database

    Open AccessAntun Portner, Bogomil Obelić et al.ARTICLERadiocarbon2010Cited by: 3References: 8

    After introducing the liquid scintillation counting (LSC) method and graphite target preparation for accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) measurements in the Zagreb Radiocarbon Laboratory, the existing database software designed only for gas proportional counting (GPC) (using a DOS operating system) could not satisfy the requirements for parallel conduction of several techniques. This has been enabled recently by the development of the new relatio…

  • Towards a Deeper Understanding of How Carbonate Isotopes ( 14 C, 13 C, 18 O) Reflect Environmental Changes

    Open AccessNada Horvatinčić, Jadranka Barešić et al.ARTICLERadiocarbon2008Cited by: 1References: 44

    Five short cores (top 40–45 cm of sediment) from 4 lakes of the Plitvice Lakes system (Croatia) were measured for 210 Pb, 137 Cs, a 14 C, δ 13 C, and δ 18 O in order to study the influence of environmental changes on the sediment system in small and large lakes. Sediment chronology based on the constant flux (CF) 210 Pb model was the most reliable. Lake sediments consisted mainly of autochthonous carbonates with higher sedimentation rates in smal…

  • Dating of the Old Bridge in Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina

    Open AccessBogomil Obelić, Ines Krajcar Bronić et al.ARTICLERadiocarbon2007Cited by: 1References: 7

    The famous single-arch stone bridge over the Neretva River in Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina, was built in 1557–1566 by the order of Ottoman Sultan Süleyman the Magnificent. During the reconstruction of the Old Bridge, which was destroyed during the war in 1993, remnants of 2 older wooden bridges were found at the same location. Six wood and 2 charcoal samples were dated using the radiocarbon method. Wood samples with visible tree rings were take…

  • Measurement of Low 14 C Activities in a Liquid Scintillation Counter in the Zagreb Radiocarbon Laboratory

    Open AccessNada Horvatinčić, Jadranka Barešić et al.ARTICLERadiocarbon2004Cited by: 14References: 10

    Two methods of chemical preparation of radiocarbon samples are implemented in the Zagreb Radiocarbon Laboratory for measurement by a new liquid scintillation counter (LSC), Quantulus 1220 TM : a CO 2 absorption method (LSC-A) and a benzene synthesis method (LSC-B). For samples prepared by both methods, the optimal counting windows for measurement in LSC were determined. The total efficiency of LSC-A is 65% and that of the LSC-B is 83%, while the …

  • Sources of Radon Contamination in 14 C Dating

    Open AccessNada Horvatinčić, Bogomil Obelić et al.ARTICLERadiocarbon1995Cited by: 4References: 9

    We investigated the effect of radon ( 222 Rn) contamination of samples and chemicals used for sample preparation and gas purification on the 14 C age of samples. Radon count rate was monitored over several 222 Rn half-lives in a proportional counter filled with methane. We analyzed ca. 240 samples of fossil and recent wood, charcoal, bone, dissolved inorganic carbon in water, travertine, peat, aquatic plants, organic soil and atmospheric CO 2 for…

    The Radiocarbon Tritium Laboratory at the Rudjer Bošković Institute participated in all three radiocarbon intercomparison studies. The first International Collaborative Study (ICS) showed that the age of organic samples measured at our laboratory is ca. 70 yr younger than the median ICS value. After introducing a slight modification in our chemical pretreatment procedure by acidifying samples after alkaline treatment, we obtained excellent agreem…

  • Experimental Determination of the 14 C Initial Activity of Calcareous Deposits

    Open AccessInes Krajcar Bronić, Nada Horvatinčić et al.ARTICLERadiocarbon1992Cited by: 8References: 18

    We have reconstructed the initial activity of calcareous sediments by 1) measuring the 14 C activity of recent pre-bomb-test calcareous deposits, 2) calculating the ratio of the 14 C activity of the calcareous sediment to that of the adjacent coeval wood, and 3) extrapolating 14 C activity of the deep lacustrine sediment layers to the surface, assuming a constant sedimentation rate. We show here that the uppermost sediment is affected by the glob…

Sample pretreatment, combustion and counting techniques are essentially the same as described previously (Srdoč, Breyer & Sliepčević 1971), supplemented by new techniques for groundwater processing (Srdoč et al. 1979). The calculation of ages follows conventional protocol (Stuiver & Polach 1977). These ages can be converted from the 5570-year half-life to the c…

  • Anthropogenic Influence on the 14 C Activity and Other Constituents of Recent Lake Sediments

    Open AccessDušan Srdoč, Nada Horvatinčić et al.ARTICLERadiocarbon1992Cited by: 5References: 13

    Anthropogenic activities that introduce an excess of nutrients and other pollutants into rivers and lakes are causing significant changes in their aquatic environment. Excessive nutrients greatly accelerate eutrophication, and lake marl formed during eutrophication differs from that formed in oligotrophic water. We analyzed recent sediment cores from Prošće and Kozjak lakes located in Plitvice National Park, central Croatia. Analyses consisted of…
