Late Paleolithic whale bone tools reveal human and whale ecology in the Bay of Biscay Open
Reconstructing how prehistoric humans used the products obtained from large cetaceans is challenging, but key to understand the history of early human coastal adaptations. Here we report the multiproxy analysis (ZooMS, radiocarbon, stable …

3000 yr-old patterns of mobile pastoralism revealed by multiple isotopes and radiocarbon dating of ancient horses from the Mongolian Altai Open
Pastoral nomadism is of great cultural and economic importance in several regions of the world today. However, documenting ancient patterns of mobility in societies where pastoralism was central is challenging and requires tailored approac…

TESTING THE USE OF XAD RESIN TO REMOVE SYNTHETIC CONTAMINATION FROM ARCHAEOLOGICAL BONE PRIOR TO RADIOCARBON DATING Open
Museum collections are extremely valuable sources of material for ongoing research, although the conservation history of some objects is not always recorded, which can be problematic for chemical analyses. While most contamination is remov…

Direct dating reveals the early history of opium poppy in western Europe Open
This paper aims to define the first chrono-cultural framework on the domestication and early diffusion of the opium poppy using small-sized botanical remains from archaeological sites, opening the way to directly date minute short-lived bo…

Sub‐Permil Interlaboratory Consistency for Solution‐Based Boron Isotope Analyses on Marine Carbonates Open
Boron isotopes in marine carbonates are increasingly used to reconstruct seawater pH and atmospheric pCO 2 through Earth’s history. While isotope ratio measurements from individual laboratories are often of high quality, it is important th…

Sea surface temperatures and planktonic foraminifera d18O from the chilean margin Open
The comparison between different climate model simulations of water hosing experiments under glacial conditions points toward diverging responses in Sea Surface Temperature changes (SST) especially in the Southeast Pacific (SEP). This sugg…

Consistently dated Atlantic sediment cores over the last 40 thousand years Open
Rapid changes in ocean circulation and climate have been observed in marine-sediment and ice cores over the last glacial period and deglaciation, highlighting the non-linear character of the climate system and underlining the possibility o…

Radiocarbon Dating of Legacy Music Instrument Collections: Example of Traditional Indian <i>Vina</i> from the Musée De La Musique, Paris Open
Although radiocarbon ( 14 C) dating is commonly used for archeological music instruments, little research has been conducted on modern instruments (16th–19th centuries). New technology, based on the Mini Carbon Dating System (MICADAS), ena…
