Carbonate removal from radiocarbon samples using a “no leach” acid pretreatment to retain mobile organic carbon
Inorganic carbon can be a significant contaminant of radiocarbon samples. It usually occurs in the form of carbonate which must be removed prior to measurement of the organic carbon fraction in a sample. This can be achieved by an acid wash, however, this approach results in the loss of mobile organic carbon components and is therefore unsuitable for situations where all organic carbon in a sample should be retained for measurement (e.g., carbon …
A compound-specific radiocarbon dating protocol for archaeological pottery at the Orau
Radiocarbon dating is essential for establishing robust chronologies in archaeological and paleoenvironmental contexts spanning the last 55,000 years. Pottery, pervasive in the archaeological record, offers a crucial framework for dating human activity during the Holocene. Traditionally, radiocarbon dating of pottery has relied on targeting carbonaceous inclusions such as organic temper or measuring stratigraphically associated materials like bon…
New evidence for preservation of contemporary marine organic carbon by iron in Arctic shelf sediments
The protection of organic carbon through association with iron minerals (Fe R ) is an important factor in its stabilisation, long-term storage, and burial efficiency in marine sediments. However, large uncertainties still exist concerning the sources, lability, age, and composition of the organic matter associated with Fe R in natural sediments. Therefore, the timing and environmental setting of the carbon-iron bonding process remain elusive. Her…
Biogeochemical consequences of a changing Arctic shelf seafloor ecosystem
Unprecedented and dramatic transformations are occurring in the Arctic in response to climate change, but academic, public, and political discourse has disproportionately focussed on the most visible and direct aspects of change, including sea ice melt, permafrost thaw, the fate of charismatic megafauna, and the expansion of fisheries. Such narratives disregard the importance of less visible and indirect processes and, in particular, miss the sub…
