  • Ramped pyrolysis radiocarbon dating

    Open AccessPınar Erdil, Michael W Dee et al.ARTICLEJournal of Archaeological Science2026

    Radiocarbon dating of mortar has long been an intriguing yet challenging field of research. The key issue involves distinguishing archaeologically meaningful carbon, which reflects the original setting of the mortar, from various types of contaminant carbon. Recent applications of the ramped pyrolysis method, which allows for the separation of carbonates based on their thermal decomposition behaviour, have shown significant potential to overcome …

  • Investigating potential radiocarbon anomalies around the time of the Minoan eruption of Thera

    Open AccessPınar Erdil, Margot Kuitems et al.ARTICLERadiocarbon2026References: 75

    The date of the Thera eruption has been a subject of intense debate since the mid-20th century. In recent years, the disagreements have escalated with the introduction of IntCal20. The increased number of annual measurements around the time period of the eruption has highlighted potential fluctuations in the atmospheric radiocarbon record, shedding new light on the date of the disastrous event. The Centre for Isotope Research in Groningen has alr…

  • The absolute chronology of the North Cemetery at Ayios Vasileios, Laconia

    Open AccessPınar Erdil, Michael W Dee et al.ARTICLEJournal of Archaeological Science…2024References: 4

    We establish the absolute chronology of Ayios Vasileios North Cemetery using 14 C dating. • KDE model of 56 14 C dates is compared to ceramic chronology of Mycenaean Greece. • The cemetery was in continuous use through Middle Helladic III to Late Helladic IIB. In mortuary archaeology, it can be particularly difficult to establish a spatiotemporal framework for specific contexts such as commingled or unfurnished burials. This is the case for the A…

  • A high-precision radiocarbon chronology of Inka rule in the Upper Loa River Region of northern Chile

    Open AccessBeau Murphy, Diego Salazar et al.ARTICLERadiocarbon2024Cited by: 1References: 56

    The chronology of the Inka Empire is poorly resolved, with most scholars utilizing a post hoc ethnohistoric reconstruction of imperial expansion as a common reference point. Radiocarbon-based analyses can now accomplish sufficient resolution for meaningful independent estimates of Inka chronology, however, and it is incumbent upon archaeologists to develop such appraisals. Here we produce a Bayesian analysis of radiocarbon data from the Upper Loa…

  • Traction in Neolithic Çatalhöyük? Palaeopathological analysis of cattle and aurochs remains from the East and West Mounds

    Open AccessSafoora Kamjan, Pınar Erdil et al.ARTICLEJournal of Anthropological…2022Cited by: 4References: 46

    Cattle traction was a technological innovation that made a significant impact on production, individual and household wealth, and social organisation. Despite ongoing debates regarding the origins and extent of the harnessing of cattle power among early agropastoral societies, only a few studies have attempted at addressing this matter systematically. In Neolithic Çatalhöyük, several studies have explored the symbolism and domestication of auroch…
