C age of recent natural earthworm biospheroids—implications for paleosol dating
Earthworm biospheroids are a useful alternative to radiocarbon ( 14 C) soil dating. In this study, we undertook a series of measurements to test the 14 C dating potential/performance of recent earthworm biospheroid granules. A novel sample preparation protocol for 14 C in biospheroids was developed and elaborated at Atomki (Institute for Nuclear Research) and tested on IAEA reference materials. 24 natural biospheroid samples were extracted from f…
New radiocarbon dates from the Bronze Age Tiszafüred-Majoroshalom site (Eastern Hungary)
In this paper we present new AMS radiocarbon dates from the Bronze Age cemetery of Tiszafüred-Majoroshalom excavated between 1961 and 1972. The cemetery provides crucial information on the cultural development and chronology of the Bronze Age Otomani-Füzesabony and the Tumulus cultures of Eastern Central Europe, in addition to the transition between the Middle and Late Bronze Age (approx. 1500 BC) in the Great Hungarian Plain

Assessment and Development of Bone Preparation for Radiocarbon Dating at Hekal
Bone is one of the most complex sample materials used for radiocarbon ( 14 C) dating. The installation of the EnvironMICADAS AMS at HEKAL (department of ICER) in 2011 required the adoption of new sample preparation techniques for small bone samples. Since then, hundreds of procedural background and known-age bones have been processed using our modified Longin method (MLM) and dated along with unknown samples. Their results are used in this study …
Adoption and Evaluation of a sample Pretreatment Protocol for Radiocarbon Dating of Cremated Bones at Hekal
A comparative study was undertaken to adopt and evaluate a radiocarbon ( 14 C) preparation procedure for accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) measurements of cremated bones at our laboratory, including different types of archaeological samples (cremated bone, bone, charcoal, charred grain). All 14 C analyses were performed using the EnvironMICADAS AMS instrument at the Hertelendi Laboratory of Environmental Studies (HEKAL) and the ancillary analys…
Temporal Variation of Atmospheric Fossil and Modern CO 2 Excess at a Central European Rural Tower Station between 2008 and 2014
In 2008, the atmospheric CO 2 measurements at the Hegyhátsál rural tower station were extended further by 14 CO 2 air sampling from two elevations (115 and 10 m a.g.l.), in cooperation with HEKAL (ICER). Since then, a complete six-year-long (2008–2014) dataset of atmospheric CO 2 , Δ 14 C, fossil, and modern CO 2 excess (relative to Jungfraujoch) has been assembled and evaluated. Based on our results, the annual mean CO 2 mole fraction rose at bo…
Isotope Analytical Characterization of Carbon-Based Nanocomposites
Carbon-based nanomaterials of different dimensions (1–3D, tubes, bundles, films, papers and sponges, graphene sheets) have been created and their characteristic properties have been discussed intensively in the literature. Due to their unique advantageous, tunable properties these materials became promising candidates in new generations of applications in many research laboratories and, recently, in industries as well. Protein-based bio-nanocompo…
Sealed Tube Combustion Method with MnO 2 for AMS 14 C Measurement
An effective sealed tube combustion method was designed with an MnO 2 oxidant for accelerator mass spectrometry radiocarbon (AMS 14 C) measurements. Different types of materials (oxalic acid, cellulose, sucrose, wood, collagen, graphite, and humic acid) were used to test the method. A normal borosilicate glass tube was used instead of quartz and the combustion was done at 550oC. The yield of the combustion is above 98% even in the case of the les…
Combined Techniques to Date the First Turkish Bridge Over the Tisza River, Hungary
Given the fluctuating nature of the radiocarbon calibration curve, the precision of single 14 C dates on the calendar timescale is limited. However, 14 C dating combined with dendrochronology enabled us to date timbers found in the Tisza River, Hungary, during the dry period of summer 2003. Routine preparation of wood samples gave 14 C results spread over 4 centuries. By extracting alpha-cellulose from the samples, 2 distinct and relatively narro…
Duration of Tell Settlements at Four Prehistoric Sites in Hungary
The chief objective of this paper is to improve our understanding of the Neolithic in eastern Hungary using absolute chronological data. To accomplish this we calibrated new measurements as well as previously published dates. The up-to-date, standardized evaluation of 147 calibrated measurements showed temporal overlaps between archaeological cultures defined on the basis of ceramic styles. The average timespan of tell settlements of 285 yr was o…
Re-Evaluation of the Neolithic in Eastern Hungary Based on Calibrated Radiocarbon Dates
The chief objective of this paper is to improve our understanding of the Neolithic in Eastern Hungary using absolute chronological data. To accomplish this we calibrated new measurements as well as previously published dates. The up-to-date, standardized evaluation of 261 calibrated measurements showed temporal overlaps between archaeological cultures defined on the basis of ceramic styles. The increasing number of dates suggest that the Neolithi…
Concentration of Radiocarbon and Its Chemical Forms in Gaseous Effluents, Environmental Air, Nuclear Waste and Primary Water of a Pressurized Water Reactor Power Plant in Hungary
We measured airborne releases of 14 C from the Paks Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) Nuclear Power Plant (NPP). Two continuous stack samplers collect 14 C in 14 CO 2 and 14 C n H m chemical forms. 14 C activities were measured using two techniques; environmental air samples of lower activities were analyzed by proportional counting, stack samples were measured by liquid scintillation counting. 14 C concentration of air in the stack varies between …
Radiocarbon Concentration and Origin of Thermal Karst Waters in the Region of the Bükk Mountains, Northeastern Hungary
Karst springs are abundant in Hungary, and many are thermal (temperatures >30°). As thermal springs are a significant part of Hungary's water resources, it is important to quantify their travel times in the karst systems. Thus, we chose to measure T and δ 18 O in the water and δ 13 C and 14 C in dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) in water from 50 thermal and nonthermal springs and wells in the Bükk Mountains, northeastern Hungary. Environmental iso…
