  • Radiocarbon Dating of Ahdname, Mantel, and Armorial from the Fojnica Franciscan Monastery, Bosnia and Herzegovina

    Open AccessNada Horvatinčić, Andreja Sironić et al.ARTICLERadiocarbon2017References: 8

    In this work, we present the results of radiocarbon ( 14 C) dating of three historically important objects related to the period of the reign of the Ottoman Empire in Europe. The following objects from the museum collection of the Franciscan Monastery in Fojnica, Bosnia and Herzegovina were 14 C dated: (1) paper from the Ahdname ( Fojnička ahdnama ); (2) textile of the mantel of Fra Anđeo Zvizdović; and (3) paper from the Fojnica Armorial ( Fojni…

  • New Data on Marine Radiocarbon Reservoir Effect in the Eastern Adriatic Based on Pre-Bomb Marine Organisms from the Intertidal Zone and Shallow Sea

    Open AccessSanja Faivre, Tatjana Bakran-Petricioli et al.ARTICLERadiocarbon2015Cited by: 7References: 37

    Radiocarbon analyses of 14 modern, pre-bomb marine organisms collected between AD 1836 and 1946 along the eastern Adriatic coast were performed. The 14 C ages of five algal and nine mollusk samples were measured by accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS). Marine 14 C reservoir ages (R) and regional offsets (ΔR) were calculated and compared. The marine reservoir ages of shells and algae significantly differ, even though both inhabit the hard substrate…

  • Towards a Deeper Understanding of How Carbonate Isotopes ( 14 C, 13 C, 18 O) Reflect Environmental Changes

    Open AccessNada Horvatinčić, Jadranka Barešić et al.ARTICLERadiocarbon2008Cited by: 1References: 44

    Five short cores (top 40–45 cm of sediment) from 4 lakes of the Plitvice Lakes system (Croatia) were measured for 210 Pb, 137 Cs, a 14 C, δ 13 C, and δ 18 O in order to study the influence of environmental changes on the sediment system in small and large lakes. Sediment chronology based on the constant flux (CF) 210 Pb model was the most reliable. Lake sediments consisted mainly of autochthonous carbonates with higher sedimentation rates in smal…

  • Measurement of Low 14 C Activities in a Liquid Scintillation Counter in the Zagreb Radiocarbon Laboratory

    Open AccessNada Horvatinčić, Jadranka Barešić et al.ARTICLERadiocarbon2004Cited by: 14References: 10

    Two methods of chemical preparation of radiocarbon samples are implemented in the Zagreb Radiocarbon Laboratory for measurement by a new liquid scintillation counter (LSC), Quantulus 1220 TM : a CO 2 absorption method (LSC-A) and a benzene synthesis method (LSC-B). For samples prepared by both methods, the optimal counting windows for measurement in LSC were determined. The total efficiency of LSC-A is 65% and that of the LSC-B is 83%, while the …

    In this report we present dating of archaeological samples performed since 1995 in the Radiocarbon Laboratory of the Rudjer Bošković Institute. Several samples from the period before 1995, which were not included in our previous data lists, are given as well. Sample preparation, proportional counter technique, and processing of data are essentially the same as reported earlier (Srdoč et al. 1971, 1979; Obelić 1989). The quality assurance and qual…

  • Interglacial Growth of Tufa in Croatia

    Open AccessNada Horvatinčić, Romana Čalić et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research2000

    Tufa samples from the Krka River area in Croatia were dated by 14 C and 230 Th/ 234 U methods. The study area is situated in the karst region of the southern Dinarides. 14 C ages of 40 tufa samples collected at the waterfalls coincide with the early Holocene interglaciation, up to 6000 14 C yr B.P. Comparison of conventional 14 C dates of Holocene tufa and those of speleothems in the Dinaric Karst shows that speleothem formation started several t…

  • Two Decades of Environmental Isotope Records in Croatia

    Open AccessInes Krajcar-Bronić, Nada Horvatinčić et al.ARTICLERadiocarbon1997Cited by: 3References: 21

    A two-decade-long record of environmental isotopes ( 2 H, 3 H, 14 C, 18 O) in Croatia is presented and the data are statistically analyzed. The atmospheric 14 C activity for the period before the actual measurements started is reconstructed by measuring tree rings from the clean-air sites, and the past tritium activity in precipitation is estimated by the correlation of our data with the Vienna station record. The long-term 3 H record helped to d…

  • Sources of Radon Contamination in 14 C Dating

    Open AccessNada Horvatinčić, Bogomil Obelić et al.ARTICLERadiocarbon1995Cited by: 4References: 9

    We investigated the effect of radon ( 222 Rn) contamination of samples and chemicals used for sample preparation and gas purification on the 14 C age of samples. Radon count rate was monitored over several 222 Rn half-lives in a proportional counter filled with methane. We analyzed ca. 240 samples of fossil and recent wood, charcoal, bone, dissolved inorganic carbon in water, travertine, peat, aquatic plants, organic soil and atmospheric CO 2 for…

  • Radiocarbon Dating of the Zagreb Upper Town Prehistoric Settlement

    Open AccessBogomil Obelić, Marija Šmalcelj et al.ARTICLERadiocarbon1995Cited by: 1References: 10

    During the 1989–1994 renovation of the Zagreb Town Museum, it became obvious that the area was inhabited in prehistoric times. We 14 C dated 40 samples to determine various settlement periods. The ages of the samples span a much longer time than expected, from the Early Iron Age (Hallstatt period) to the 19th century ad. 14 C dates on charcoal samples placed the remains of dwelling pits in the Hallstatt period, 8th to 4th century bc. A late La Tè…

  • Radiocarbon Intercomparison Studies at the Rudjer Bošković Institute

    The Radiocarbon Tritium Laboratory at the Rudjer Bošković Institute participated in all three radiocarbon intercomparison studies. The first International Collaborative Study (ICS) showed that the age of organic samples measured at our laboratory is ca. 70 yr younger than the median ICS value. After introducing a slight modification in our chemical pretreatment procedure by acidifying samples after alkaline treatment, we obtained excellent agreem…

  • Radiocarbon and Uranium-Series Dating of the Plitvice Lakes Travertines

    Open AccessDušan Srdoč, J K Osmond et al.ARTICLERadiocarbon1994Cited by: 4References: 51

    Radiocarbon and uranium-series ages of the calcareous deposits of the Plitvice Lakes show that travertines were deposited during three warm, humid, interglacial oxygen isotope stages. According to our measurements, only calcite crystals or crystal aggregates represent reliable material for both 230 Th/ 234 U and 234 U/ 238 /U dating. Compact old travertine in the form of sandstone is less reliable; it can be dated by both methods provided that it…

    In this list, we present 14 C ages of archaeological, geological, hydrogeological, botanical and atmospheric samples measured since our previous list (Srdoč et al. 1992). Chemical pretreatment and counting techniques using a methane-filled proportional counter are essentially the same as reported earlier. Sample descriptions are prepared in collaboration with collectors and submitters

  • Experimental Determination of the 14 C Initial Activity of Calcareous Deposits

    Open AccessInes Krajcar Bronić, Nada Horvatinčić et al.ARTICLERadiocarbon1992Cited by: 8References: 18

    We have reconstructed the initial activity of calcareous sediments by 1) measuring the 14 C activity of recent pre-bomb-test calcareous deposits, 2) calculating the ratio of the 14 C activity of the calcareous sediment to that of the adjacent coeval wood, and 3) extrapolating 14 C activity of the deep lacustrine sediment layers to the surface, assuming a constant sedimentation rate. We show here that the uppermost sediment is affected by the glob…

  • Anthropogenic Influence on the 14 C Activity and Other Constituents of Recent Lake Sediments

    Open AccessDušan Srdoč, Nada Horvatinčić et al.ARTICLERadiocarbon1992Cited by: 5References: 13

    Anthropogenic activities that introduce an excess of nutrients and other pollutants into rivers and lakes are causing significant changes in their aquatic environment. Excessive nutrients greatly accelerate eutrophication, and lake marl formed during eutrophication differs from that formed in oligotrophic water. We analyzed recent sediment cores from Prošće and Kozjak lakes located in Plitvice National Park, central Croatia. Analyses consisted of…

    The Radiocarbon and Tritium Laboratory of the Rudjer Bošković Institute, Zagreb, participated in the International Collaborative Study (ICS) in all three stages. All measurements were made by proportional counting of methane. We present here a statistical analysis of our results. A comparison with the mean or median values of reported ICS values showed that our results are generally slightly younger

  • Radiocarbon and Thermoluminescence Dating of Prehistoric Sites in Hungary and Yugoslavia

    Lázár Benkö, Ferenc Horváth et al.ARTICLERadiocarbon1989Cited by: 11

    Direct dating by simultaneous independent physical methods is of particular interest to prehistoric archaeology in central Europe. Radiocarbon and thermoluminescence measurements were made to date two tell settlements in the Carpathian Basin: the Late Neolithic site at Gorzsa (southeast Hungary) and the Eneolithic site of Vučedol (east Croatia, Yugoslavia). Samples from Gorzsa span from the Szakalhát to the Proto-Tiszapolgár periods, while most i…
