  • Radiocarbon Dating on Echo Micadas, Lsce, Gif-Sur-Yvette, France

    Open AccessChristine Hatté, Maurice Arnold et al.ARTICLERadiocarbon2024Citada por: 2Referencias: 35

    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…

  • Variability of Radiocarbon Reservoir Age Effects in Lakes and Rivers in Anatolia and Lesser Caucasus

    Open AccessMichel Fontugne, Christine Hatté et al.ARTICLERadiocarbon2024Referencias: 30

    Multiproxy sedimentary sequence analysis constitutes the basis for reconstructions of past paleoenvironments and climate evolution. These sequences are, for the most part, obtained by coring in lakes, maars or crater lakes whose waters can record volcanic activity or karstic contributions, especially in Eastern Anatolia and the Lesser Caucasus. The reservoir age effect in these geological contexts leads to an apparent aging of the radiocarbon age…

  • Experiments at Modane Underground Laboratory or the Swan Song of Radiocarbon Ss-Counting by Gas Proportional Counter

    Open AccessMichel Fontugne, Christine Hatté et al.ARTICLERadiocarbon2022Citada por: 1Referencias: 21

    In 1991, a 14 C ß-counting installation with four proportional CO 2 gas counters was tested at the Modane underground laboratory, 1700 m below the summit of Pointe du Fréjus, reducing the muon flux to 4 muons per square meter and per day. With cosmic radiation attenuated by a factor of 2.10 6 , the background level of the counters was reduced by 65 to 85% while its variability was reduced by a factor of 30–80 depending on the type of counter. The…

  • Back to the Iron Age Chronology in Southern Central Asia

    Bertille Lyonnet, Michel FontugneARTICLEAncient Civilizations from…2021Citada por: 2

    The article reconsiders two major sites of the 1st millennium BC in southern Uzbekistan, Kyzyltepa and Kurganzol. It contests their recent dating – exclusively the Achaemenid and transitional Hellenistic period for the first one, and the end of the 4th c . BC for the second one – mainly based upon dendrochronological analyses relating the samples to the time of Alexander the Great’s conquest or slightly before, and ruling out the other dates give…

  • New Data on a Pleistocene Archaeological Sequence in South America

    Eric Boëda, Roxane Rocca et al.ARTICLEPaleoAmerica2016

    Sítio do Meio, discovered in the 1990s, showed a sedimentary sequence clearly composed of two sets of deposits separated by a zone of large rockfall from the massive collapse of the shelter's overhang. The bottom set, slightly more than 60 cm thick, was trapped between the bedrock (upon which it rested) and the lower part of the roof fall (reaching more than 1 m in the excavation area), and yielded some charcoal without other archaeological mater…

  • Uranium-series dating of carbonate formations overlying Paleolithic art

    Randall White, Helene Valladas et al.ARTICLEBulletin de la Société…2014Citada por: 6

    The Uranium-Thorium (U/ Th) series dating method, developed 50 years ago, has proven its usefulness and reliability for the dating of marine (corals) and continental (speleothems) secondary carbonates deposits. Recently, improvements of the analytical techniques (TIMS – Thermo-Ionization Mass Spectrometry, and then MC-ICPMS – Multicollector-Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectroscopy and laser ablation) allow the dating of very small samples and…

  • A new late Pleistocene archaeological sequence in South America

    Open AccessEric Boëda, Ignacio Clemente-Conte et al.ARTICLEAntiquity2014Citada por: 59Referencias: 24

    The date of the first settlement of the Americas remains a contentious subject. Previous claims for very early occupation at Pedra Furada in Brazil were not universally accepted (see Meltzeret al.1994). New work at the rockshelter of Boqueirão da Pedra Furada and at the nearby open-air site of Vale da Pedra Furada have however produced new evidence for human occupation extending back more than 20 000 years. The argument is supported by a series o…

  • Cross-Dating (Th/U-14C) of Calcite Covering Prehistoric Paintings at Serra da Capivara National Park, Piaui, Brazil

    Michel FontugneARTICLERadiocarbon2013

    The question of when the first humans arrived in the New World has been a bone of contention for several decades. Similarly, the age of rock paintings has been heatedly debated. Settlements in the Serra da Capivara National Park have been dated to between 5 kyr and >50 kyr, which is far older than the Clovis barrier. Moreover, calcite formation on a rock-wall painting in a rockshelter yielded thermoluminescence (TL) and electron paramagnetic reso…

  • New Radiocarbon Ages of Luzia Woman, Lapa Vermelha IV Site, Lagoa Santa, Minas Gerais, Brazil

    Michel FontugneARTICLERadiocarbon2013Citada por: 3Referencias: 12

    Luzia woman is considered one of the oldest Paleoindian skeletons found in the Americas. Luzia was found at the Lapa Vermelha IV site (Lagoa Santa, Minas Gerais, Brazil) in 1975 by the archaeologist Annette Laming-Emperaire (1917–1977) who sent to the Gif laboratory charcoals collected in the vicinity of the skeleton for radiocarbon dating. Twenty-nine charcoal samples were dated from different levels of the stratigraphy of the cave (Délibrias et…

  • West Central African Peoples

    Richard Oslisly, Ilham Bentaleb et al.ARTICLERadiocarbon2013Citada por: 10Referencias: 6

    Tracing human history in west central Africa suffers from a scarcity of historical data and archaeological remains. In order to provide new insight into this problem, we reviewed 733 radiocarbon dates of archaeological sites from the end of the Late Stone Age, Neolithic Stage, and Early and Late Iron Age in Cameroon, Gabon, Central African Republic, Equatorial Guinea, Republic of Congo, and the western Democratic Republic of Congo. This review pr…

  • Radiocarbon Dating of Recent Intertidal Microbial Mats on Atoll Rims

    Jean Trichet, Christine Hatté et al.ARTICLERadiocarbon2013Referencias: 27

    Microbial mats ( kopara in Polynesian) that develop in shallow brackish to hypersaline ponds on the rims of atolls were investigated for their accumulation process and rate. Two sequences of ∼30-cm-deep kopara, composed of 7 and 5 layers distinguished by their colors and sedimentological facies were collected in 1996 from the Tetiaroa atoll, French Polynesia. The combination of radiocarbon activity measurements on both organic and carbonate const…
