  • Norse Greenland Dietary Economy ca. AD 980-ca. AD 1450

    Open AccessJette Arneborg, Niels Lynnerup et al.ARTICLEJournal of the North Atlantic2012Cited by: 7References: 23

    An initial study of the 13 C values for human bone collagen of 27 Norse Greenlanders in the late 1990s suggested a change in the Norse diet from predominantly terrestrial to predominantly marine food. This shift may well indicate a change in diet; the question left open by the limited initial isotope study was, however, whether the change in diet was a reflection of altered subsistence strategies or altered farming practices. Furthermore, the fir…

  • Change of Diet of the Greenland Vikings Determined from Stable Carbon Isotope Analysis and 14 C Dating of Their Bones

    Open AccessJette Arneborg, Jan Heinemeier et al.ARTICLERadiocarbon1999Cited by: 88References: 20

    Bone samples from the Greenland Viking colony provide us with a unique opportunity to test and use 14 C dating of remains of humans who depended upon food of mixed marine and terrestrial origin. We investigated the skeletons of 27 Greenland Norse people excavated from churchyard burials from the late 10th to the middle 15th century. The stable carbon isotopic composition (δ 13 C) of the bone collagen reveals that the diet of the Greenland Norse c…

  • C AMS Dating of Icelandic Lake Sediments

    Open AccessÁrný E Sveinbjörnsdóttir, Jan Heinemeier et al.ARTICLERadiocarbon1997Cited by: 1References: 7

    We report an age-depth profile for the sediments of the Lake Hesrvatn, southern Iceland, based on 14 C analyses of the organic fraction of bulk sediment samples, molluscs and foraminifera. Our age-depth curve is supported by the occurrence of the well-dated Vedde ash in the lowermost part of the sediments. Comparison of foraminifera dates with the age of the Vedde ash indicates a reservoir age of ca. 400 yr. The results suggest that the sediments…

  • Recent Reservoir Ages for Danish Fjords and Marine Waters

    Open AccessSusanne Heier-Nielsen, Jan Heinemeier et al.ARTICLERadiocarbon1995Cited by: 24References: 9

    AMS 14 C dates were measured for 28 mollusk shells collected live in Danish waters over the period ad 1885 to 1945. Fourteen samples were from fjords and 14 were marine samples from the Danish Skagerrak-Kattegat coastal area and from the Belts. Reservoir ages were calculated for all samples on the basis of the tree-ring calibration curve. For the marine samples, which cover the period ad 1885–1916, we found a weighted-average reservoir age of 377…

  • Radiocarbon Dating of Shells and Foraminifera from the Skagen Core, Denmark

    Open AccessSusanne Heier-Nielsen, Keld Conradsen et al.ARTICLERadiocarbon1995Cited by: 2References: 18

    We report on 69 radiocarbon dates of mollusk shells and benthic foraminifera from the upper 132 m of the marine shelf sediments of the Skagen Core (220 m total length). The dated sequence covers the Late Glacial and the Holocene (from 15 ka bp to Recent). Sedimentation rates range from 1 to 70 m ka −1 . The macrofossil shell dates follow a smooth curve constituting an age model for dating the sediments. The foraminiferal dates fall into two group…

  • Radiocarbon AMS dating of Holocene wolf (Canis lupus) remains from Greenland

    Open AccessOle Bennike, Morten Meldgaard et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene1994References: 1

    Radiocarbon AMS dating of seven polar wolf (Canis lupus) remains from east and north Greenland and one from Ellesmere Island document the presence of this large carnivore in Greenland at around 6800, 1600, 800 and 500 BP, corresponding to calibrated ages of 5620 BC, AD 530, AD 1260 and AD 1420. Three of the remains yielded modem ages. These results demonstrate the presence of the wolf in Greenland since the early mid-Holocene and it is argued tha…

  • Radiocarbon Anomalies Observed for Plants Growing in Icelandic Geothermal Waters

    Open AccessÁrný E Sveinbjörnsdóttir, Jan Heinemeier et al.ARTICLERadiocarbon1992Cited by: 12References: 8

    We have studied plant remains in thick beds of lacustrine sediments in the upper part of the Markarfljót drainage area in southern Iceland. We collected small samples of plant species from the same horizon and 14 C dated them at the Aarhus AMS Dating Laboratory. Terrestrial plants yielded an age of 9 ka BP, whereas aquaic moss ( Fontinalis antipyretica Hedw.) yielded the surprisingly old 14 C age of 16 ka bp. We believe the age of the terrestrial…

  • AMS 14C Dating on the Fossvogur Sediments, Iceland

    G J Andersen, J A N Heinemeier et al.ARTICLERadiocarbon1989Cited by: 14

    Several new AMS 14 C dates on shells from the Fossvogur sea sediments in southern Iceland are reported. Up till now, researchers have assumed that the Fossvogur sediments formed during the last interglacial period (Eem), some 100,000 years ago. However, a recent 14 C determination from this location yielded an age of ca 11,000 yr. Because of the importance of these sediments for the Quaternary chronology of Iceland, further sampling for 14 C dati…
