Earliest evidence for the use of pottery
Molecular and Isotopic Demonstration of the Processing of Aquatic Products in Northern European Prehistoric Pottery
A number of charred surface residues, adhering to ceramic containers, were obtained from various coastal and inland sites in north‐west Europe dating from the sixth to the fourth millennium cal bc . In order to investigate the use of these vessels and in particular to identify any marine products, the residues were subjected to carbon and nitrogen stable isotope analysis. Variation in carbon isotope ratios between different samples indicated that…
Dating resin coating on pottery
Pottery found at Spirit Cave, Thailand, has been claimed as among the earliest ceramics in the world - a radiocarbon date of 7500 BP being obtained from associated charcoal. However radiocarbon dating of organic resin found on some of the sherds gave a date of around 3000 BP. This is another example of improved precision in dating by pin-pointing the context and using AMS. The authors describe how it was done and assess its validity
Scatness, shetland
An integrated survey and research excavation of a multiperiod settlement mound at Scatness, Shetland, was carried out in 1995. This settlement mound contains an Iron Age tower, known as a Broch, and 3 m or more of stratified archaeological deposits, truncated by a modern road. The paper explores the combined use of three-dimensional topographical survey with magnetic and earth-resistance surveys using the twin-probe configuration at both 0.5 m an…
