Možnosti a limity radiouhlíkového datování se zaměřením na netypické archeologické vzorky
Radiouhlíkové datování je etablovanou metodou, která pomáhá určit absolutní stáří archeologických nálezů. Tento tematický přehled prezentuje základní principy radiouhlíkové metody, předpoklady pro výběr vzorků z archeologických situací, způsob zacházení se vzorky před zasláním do radiouhlíkové laboratoře, laboratorní postupy úpravy vzorků, průběh AMS měření a kalibraci výsledků. Dále jsou vysvětleny faktory, které omezují výsledky radiouhlíkového…

Did they leave or not: A critical perspective on the beginnings of the La Tène period in Bohemia
One of the key unresolved questions regarding the archaeology of La Tène Europe concerns the continuity of settlement around 400 BC. Archaeological evidence of settlement in the countries north of the Alps, including the Czech Republic, declines during this period – a decline which for decades has generally been attributed to population migration. Demographic growth, climate deterioration, land depletion, disease, and social crisis have all been …
Laser-Aided Profile Measurement and Cluster Analysis of Ceramic Shapes
Ceramics are one of the commonest sources of archaeological information, yet their abundance often confounds documentation and analysis. This article presents a new method of documenting and analyzing ceramics that includes laser-aided profile measurement to capture ceramic shape and other information quickly and accurately, resulting in digital outputs suitable for both publication and morphometric analysis. Linked software and database solution…
Long time-series ecological niche modelling using archaeological settlement data: Tracing the origins of present-day landscape
Human activities have shaped the environment since long before the advent of agriculture and resulted in anthropogenic landscapes, which are sometimes perceived as natural, but are clearly shaped by dozens of previous generations. This study is the first to apply ecological niche modelling on a long time-series of archaeological data to illuminate the development of the landscape from the perspective of settlement behaviour and its dependence on …
Clustering of Calibrated Radiocarbon Dates: Site-Specific Chronological Sequences Identified by Dense Radiocarbon Sampling
Calibrated radiocarbon ( 14 C) determinations are commonly used in archaeology to assign calendar dates to a site’s chronological phases identified based on additional evidence such as stratigraphy. In the absence of such evidence, we can perform dense 14 C sampling of the site to attempt to identify periods of heightened activity, separated by periods of inactivity, which correspond to archaeological phases and gaps between them. We propose a me…
The New Radiocarbon Dataset for Trilith Monuments of Southeastern Arabia
Triliths are megalithic monuments scattered across the coastal plains of southern and southeastern Arabia. They consist of aligned standing stones with a parallel row of large hearths and form a space, the meaning of which is undoubtedly significant but nonetheless still unknown. This paper presents a new radiocarbon ( 14 C) dataset acquired during the two field seasons 2018–2019 of the TSMO (Trilith Stone Monuments of Oman) project which investi…

The Best possible Time resolution: How precise could a Radiocarbon dating method be
Today, accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) technology enables us to carry out very precise measurements of radiocarbon ( 14 C). Unfortunately, due to fluctuations in the 14 C calibration curve, the resulting calibrated time intervals vary from decades up to centuries in calibrated age. Within a time scale of several decades, we can find several time intervals on the 14 C calibration curve which correspond with periods of rapid increases in atmosp…
Modelling prehistoric settlement activities based on surface and subsurface surveys
Modelling distribution of archaeological settlement evidence based on heterogeneous spatial and temporal data
Adaptation of settlement strategies to environmental conditions in southern Slovakia in the Neolithic and Eneolithic
Environmental conditions such as climate, topography, and soil conditions had an impact on prehistoric settlement strategies. By studying changes in settlement structure in the Nitra, Hron and Ipel’ valleys in southern Slovakia over the course of the Neolithic and Eneolithic, preferences for various climatic and topographic environments in different periods can be seen. Besides cultural and socio-economic factors, it can also be expected that cha…
