New radiocarbon dating of the ‘Llullaillaco Maiden’ appears to rule out a response to natural disasters or Inca campaigns of ...
Radiocarbon records are critical to understanding the history of Earth's climate, magnetic field, and the Sun's activity, say researchers. Radiocarbon records are critical to understanding the history ...
Pristine leaf fossils from Lake Suigetsu allowed radiocarbon dates to be calibrated against absolute dates from annual sediment layers. Photo courtesy Richard Staff In 2006, researchers drilled into ...
For decades, scientists have relied on tree rings to estimate how long trees can live. But new research suggests that this widely used method may have been underestimating the lifespan of many ...
Radiocarbon dating has been fundamental to the study of human cultural and biological development over the past 50,000 yr. Two recent developments in the methodology of radiocarbon dating show that ...
A new study refines radiocarbon dating of marine remains and significantly improves the precision with which the human past of the Magdalenian period in the Cantabrian region of Spain can be ...
Researchers from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) have created an open database with 124 carbon-14-dated samples ...
The team of researchers at the Universities of Sheffield, Belfast, Bristol, Glasgow, Oxford, St Andrews and Historic England, plus international colleagues, used measurements from almost 15,000 ...
Willard F. Libby, the American chemist well-known as the discoverer of the carbon 14 (radiocarbon) dating technique for which he won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1960. Thirteen hominid teeth that ...
Central Europe during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) was dominated by polar desert and steppe-tundra biomes. Despite this, a human presence during this time period is evident at several locations ...
Radiocarbon is critical to trace and understand changes in Earth’s climate, carbon cycle and magnetic field, and the Sun’s activity, up to 55,000 years ago Scientists have highlighted how recent ...
