C14 Radiocarbon Dating - Sample - SRR-1789

Return to Index

Scottish Radiocarbon Database

SRR-1789

Mixed reindeer antler from inner cave; no known working marks or other evidence of a human presence. PROBLEM: This sample may mix antlers of different periods (see for instance OxA-3788 at 47900+/-3600 BP and SRR-2105 at 8300+/-90 BP) and this measurement should not be used as if it dated an event. PROBLEM IN CALIBRATION: Suigetsu curve may not apply well in Britain
