Radiocarbon Dating on Echo Micadas, Lsce, Gif-Sur-Yvette, France
The Laboratoire des Sciences du Climat et de l’Environnement (LSCE) has operated a radiocarbon dating laboratory for almost 70 years. It has evolved from a traditional ß-decay counting to an accelerator mass spectrometry facility. In 2015, the LSCE received a major upgrade with the installation of a MICADAS. This evolution required adjustments in sample preparation to match the new capability to date samples as small as a few tens of μgC. We summ…
Radiocarbon Dating of the Decorated Cosquer Cave (France)
The Grotte Cosquer (southeastern France) is a Paleolithic painted cave only accessible by a deep-water dive. The cave has yielded numerous Paleolithic engravings and drawings, which were produced from wood charcoal. This article presents new radiocarbon dates obtained on samples collected in 2012 directly on 17 parietal representations and at the soil surface, and discusses the 14 C results obtained since the discovery of the cave in 1992. A tota…
A high-precision chronological model for the decorated Upper Paleolithic cave of Chauvet-Pont d’Arc, Ardèche, France
Significance We compiled a set of more than 250 radiocarbon dates related to the rock art, human activities, and bone remains in the Chauvet-Pont d'Arc Cave (Ardèche, France) and derive a modeled absolute chronology of the human and cave bear occupations of this site, presented here in calendar years. It provides an insightful framework for the successive events that occurred in the cave during the Paleolithic period.
Second Radiocarbon Intercomparison Program for the Chauvetpont d'Arc Cave, Ardèche, France
The Chauvet-Pont d'Arc Cave is one of the most important sites for the study of the earliest manifestations and development of prehistoric art at the beginning of the Upper Paleolithic. Different dating techniques have been performed thus far (AMS 14 C, U/Th TIMS, 36 Cl dating) to model the chronological framework of this decorated cave. The cave yielded several large charcoal fragments, which enabled the opportunity for obtaining multiple dates;…
Non-Destructive Portable Analytical Techniques for Carbon In Situ Screening Before Sampling for Dating Prehistoric Rock Paintings
Direct dating of prehistoric paintings is playing a major role in Paleolithic art studies. Very few figures can be directly dated since the necessary condition is that they contain organic carbon-based material. Thus, it is very important to check the presence of organic carbon-based material in situ before sampling in order to protect the visual integrity of the paintings or drawings. We have tested and compared 3 different portable analytical s…
Sur la présence d’ursus arctos au début de l’Holocène dans le Moyen Atlas (Maroc) - datations et implications paléoenvironnementales
Dans le Moyen Atlas, près de Boulmane les formations calcaires d’El Minchare abritent une grotte profonde (Ifri Oussaïd) s’ouvrant au-dessus du plateau à 2075 m d’altitude. Les fouilles de ce site ont livré, de 2005 à 2007, des charbons associés à plusieurs ossements dont au moins 156 restes d’ours brun (Ursus arctos) appartenant à cinq individus. L’étude paléontologique atteste d’un ours de petite taille (Ouchaou, 2008). Les niveaux à charbons d…
Radiocarbon Intercomparison Program for Chauvet Cave
We present the first results of an accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) radiocarbon intercomparison program on 3 different charcoal samples collected in one of the hearths of the Megaceros gallery of Chauvet Cave (Ardèche, France). This cave, rich in parietal decoration, is important for the study of the appearance and evolution of prehistoric art because certain drawings have been 14 C dated to the Aurignacian period at the beginning of the Upper…
Bilan des datations carbone 14 effectuées sur des charbons de bois de la grotte Chauvet
After a brief presentation of the experimental protocols, this article discusses the results of the 14C dates obtained from charcoal specimens collected on the walls (drawings and torch-wipes) and on the ground of the Chauvet Cave. The dates, which are coherent, can be divided into two periods a few millennia apart: between 33000 and 29000 14C years BP (33 samples including the five parietal representations) and between 27000 and 24500 14 C years…
