The Pleistocene footprints are younger than we thought: correcting the radiocarbon dates of Ruppia seeds, Tularosa Basin, New Mexico

DOI: 10.1017/qua.2023.74
Abstract: Abstract Past studies have demonstrated that Ruppia cirrhosa (Ruppia), which typically grows in brackish water, is far too unreliable to serve as the chronological basis for radiocarbon dating because of the hard water effect (HWE).… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/rdc.2024.112
Abstract: Abstract The chronology of the Bronze Age in the Carpathian basin is largely based on relative chronologies, i.e. stylistic analysis of ceramic (and other) materials. While the number of radiocarbon dates is generally increasing, certain… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.1813268116
Abstract: Significance For thousands of years, prehistoric societies built monumental grave architecture and erected standing stones in the coastal regions of Europe (4500–2500 calibrated years BC). Our understanding of the rise of these megalithic societies is… read more here.

Inscribed sandstone fragments of Hole, Norway: radiocarbon dates provide insight into rune-stone traditions
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2025 at "Antiquity"
DOI: 10.15184/aqy.2024.225
Abstract: The development of runic writing (the early Germanic alphabetic script) and the practice of inscribing runes on stone are difficult to trace, particularly as rune-stone inscriptions are rarely found in original and/or datable contexts. The… read more here.
