Kris Hirst , About.com Guide zSB(3,3) Definition: Radiocarbon dating uses the amount of Carbon 14 (C14) available in living creatures as a measuring stick. All living things maintain a content of carbon 14 in equilibrium with that available in the atmosphere, right up to the moment of death. When an organism dies, the amount of C14 available within it begins to decay at a half life rate of 5730 years; i.e., it takes 5730 years for 1/2 of the C14 available in the organism to decay. Comparing the amount of C14 in a dead organism to available levels in the atmosphere, produces an estimate of when that organism died. So, for example, if a tree was used as a support for a structure, the date that tree stopped living (i.e., when it was cut down) can be used to date the building's construction date. Studies have indicated that the amount of carbon in the atmosphere has not remained constant, and beginning about 1500 BC, dates provided by radiocarbon are too recent. These dates become farther off the older the time is indicated. Calibration of radiocarbon dates to offset the error is accomplished by a fairly complicated set of formulas, but they primarily use comparison to

    Extractions: Radiocarbon dating is based on the presence of the an equilibrium ratio of R(0) = C/ C in the carbon cycle. Organisms take up carbon during their life and so obtain the equilibrium value from the environment. During the growth the carbon and its ratio becomes fixed in cells of plants, animals and humans. After the death of the organism the exchange with the environment stops and also the uptake of C. Because of the decay of C, the C/ C ratio decreases according to R(t)=R(0) exp(-t/t ), where t is the half life. So, the ratio R(t) is a measure for the age of the material Reservoir age The equilibrium ratio is not everywhere the same on earth. This causes apparent age differences, known as reservoir ages. In a marine environment, the average reservoir age is 400 years, because of the dissolution of old carbonates from sediment. Such reservoir ages can also be present in lakes, rivers and other carbonates. Other complications exist, which are connected with the possibility to select the correct chemical fraction without contamination (see material). Radiocarbon age

More important by far than just this particular site, the finds here have led to the awareness of a very simple zoo-anthropomorphic iconography appar- ently routinely and usually perfunctorily incorporated into lithic and other artifact material over thousands of years and across widely separated areas of this planet. Subsequent to this author's recognition of the iconographic artifacts at this site, he became aware that in the nineteenth century Boucher de Perthes , an amateur archaeologist in France, conclusively demonstrated with the aid of professional geologists (to the dismay and anger of the archaeological establishment) that stone tools in that part of the world dated from the Ice Age, a now universally accepted fact in the archaeological community. He also noted that many of the artifacts in question incorporated simple anthropomorphic and zoomorphic imagery, calling these " Pierres Figures", or "

    Extractions: Geography We are the only unit that combines Archaeology with Palaeoecology in the U.K. and Ireland. We have centres of excellence in the Archaeology of Ireland, Dating and Environmental Archaeology. We continue a long tradition of high quality undergraduate and postgraduate teaching with an emphasis on practical and fieldwork techniques. Much of this happens through the Centre for Archaeological Fieldwork ( CAF CHRONO Project (Centre for Chronology, Environment and Climate), resulting in the construction of a new building housing both Archaeology and Palaeoecology, funding for new research on environmental and climate change and the establishment of an AMS radiocarbon laboratory (only the third such facility in the UK and the first in Ireland). We offer Undergraduate Degrees Master’s Degrees and a range of Post Graduate research programmes.

    Extractions: More about radiocarbon dating By David Thulman The great promise of radiocarbon (C14) dating is that it provides a method for dating and sequencing specific prehistoric events. On the Aucilla projects, C14 dating is used as a method for weeding out unpromising sties that are either too old or too young. In addition, it provides a method for determining the relative chronologies at the various sites and their relation to sites elsewhere in the world. Are we working on some of the earliest human cultural remains in North America? C14 dating can help provide the answer. Given the pervasive reliance on C14 dating in archeology, it is necessary to understand the limitations of C14 dating and how the results can be skewed and misused. A C14 date is not really a �date� at all; it is an estimation of the number of years it would take the radioactive carbon in a dead organism to decay to leave the amount of radioactive carbon actually found when a sample of that organism is analyzed. Carbon 14 dating is based upon a number of important assumptions, but only one will be discussed here. In order to compare C14 dates meaningfully, we must assume that all organisms contained the same amount of C14 when they died. Otherwise, organisms with less C14 will appear older because there will be less C14 than expected when the sample is tested. Unfortunately, that assumption is faulty. As Mary Hudson explained in her Aucilla River Times article two years ago, C14 is created by cosmic radiation in the upper atmosphere. That radiation fluctuates year to year and therefore so does the creation of C14 . That means if our branch grew at a time when relatively lower levels of C14 were in the atmosphere, it would have less C14 when it died and would show an older apparent age than it should. Conversely, if it grew at a time of abundant C14 it would appear younger than it should. This differential C14 concentration may give our branch a younger C14 age than another branch that died hundreds of years after our branch, making comparison of the two samples misleading.

    Extractions: The Origins of Angkor Archaeological Project is a multi-disciplinary research project being undertaken by the University of Otago Department of Anthropology and the Fine Arts Department of Thailand. The aim of the project is to assess the seminal aspects of the social, cultural and technological development in the Mun River valley of Northeast Thailand. Four sites have been excavated, a Bronze Age site Ban Lum Khao, and three Iron Age sites, Non Muang Kao Noen U-Loke. and Prasat Phimai. In addition, recent excavations at Phum Snay and Baksei Chamkrong have begun to shed light on the previously poorly understood prehistory of northern Cambodia. This work has been completed with the assistance of Earthwatch and their volunteers.

    Extractions: Overview I. The Radiocarbon Revolution Regardless of the particular 14C technique used, the value of this tool for archaeology has clearly been appreciated. Desmond Clark (1979:7) observed that without radiocarbon dating "we would still be foundering in a sea of imprecisions sometime bred of inspired guesswork but more often of imaginative speculation." And as Colin Renfrew (1973) aptly noted over 30 years ago, the "Radiocarbon Revolution" transformed how archaeologists could interpret the past and track cultural changes through a period in human history where we see among other things the massive migration of peoples settling virtually every major region of the world, the transition from hunting and gathering to more intensive forms of food production, and the rise of city-states. The surrounding environment can also influence radiocarbon ages. The introduction of "old" or "artificial" carbon into the atmosphere (i.e., the "Suess Effect" and "Atom Bomb Effect", respectively) can influence the ages of dates making them appear older or younger than they actually are. This is a major concern for bone dates where pretreatment procedures must be employed to isolate protein or a specific amino acid such as hydroxyproline (known to occur almost exclusively in bone collagen) to ensure accurate age assessments of bone specimens. Alone, or in concert, these factors can lead to inaccuracies and misinterpretations by archaeologists without proper investigation of the potential problems associated with sampling and dating.
