Pretreatment and gaseous radiocarbon dating of 40–100 mg archaeological bone

Pretreatment and gaseous radiocarbon dating of 40–100 mg archaeological bone

Radiocarbon dating archaeological bone typically requires 300–1000 mg material using standard protocols. We report the results of reducing sample size at both the pretreatment and 14 C measurement stages for eight archaeological bones spanning the radiocarbon timescale at different levels of preserv...

Zusammenfassung:Radiocarbon dating archaeological bone typically requires 300–1000 mg material using standard protocols. We report the results of reducing sample size at both the pretreatment and 14 C measurement stages for eight archaeological bones spanning the radiocarbon timescale at different levels of preservation. We adapted our standard collagen extraction protocol specifically for
