  • Radiocarbon Dating of Several Ancient Jewish Oil Lamps from Rome

    Open AccessLeonard V Rutgers, Klaas von der Borg et al.ARTICLERadiocarbon2007References: 7

    In this paper, we discuss how the radiocarbon dating of soot on oil lamps can help determine the chronology of the Jewish catacombs of Rome. We also explore the ramifications of our work for the typological study of Roman period terracotta lamps

  • Further Radiocarbon Dates from the Catacombs of St. Callixtus in Rome

    Open AccessLeonard V Rutgers, Klaas Van Der Borg et al.ARTICLERadiocarbon2007References: 14

    This paper reports a further chronological assessment of the Christian catacombs of Rome by radiocarbon-dated organic materials in the so-called Liberian region of the catacombs of St. Callixtus on the Appian Way. 14 C dates of various types of organic material are discussed and related to ages derived from numismatic evidence and epigraphic remains. The results show that this area of the catacombs of St. Callixtus is older than assumed by previo…

  • Radiocarbon Dates from the Catacombs of St. Callixtus in Rome

    Open AccessLeonard V Rutgers, Klaas Van Der Borg et al.ARTICLERadiocarbon2005Cited by: 1References: 2

    This paper reports the first chronological assessment of the Christian catacombs of Rome by radiocarbon dating. The organic materials dated were found in a set of burial rooms in the so-called Liberian region of the catacombs of St. Callixtus on the Appian Way. 14 C dating of small samples by accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) represents a major advance over traditional archaeological dating methods used in catacomb archaeology; however, AMS 14 …

  • Radiocarbon Dates from the Jewish Catacombs of Rome

    Open AccessLeonard V Rutgers, Arie F M De Jong et al.ARTICLERadiocarbon2002Cited by: 5References: 10

    This paper reports on the first chronological assessment of the Jewish Catacombs of the ancient Rome performed by accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) dating of small-size charcoal fragments scattered in the mortar used for sealing off the graves in the Villa Torlonia Catacomb complex. The significance of the obtained 14 C readings has been carefully evaluated by taking into consideration the known technologies of quicklime production during Roman…
