ABSTRACT. The cemetery in the Riparo Valtenesi rockshelter at Manerba del Garda in northern Italy is well known for its wooden burial chambers. These chambers are some of the best sources of evidence for 3rd millennium BC collective burial in Europe. To further refine the absolute dating of burial activity at the site (beyond the approximate data provided by a previous series of routine radiocarbon measurements), a charred construction oak timber was sampled from Chamber 133 for 14 C dendro wiggle-matching (DWM). We present the results from the DWM analysis, the first of its kind for the Italian Copper Age as a whole, establishing a terminus post quem for construction of Chamber 133 ~2955-2872 cal BC.

“…There is little dating evidence from the area, excepting that all the sites lie well within the limit of the Last Glacial Maximum. Fragments of boreo-arctic marine shells from the Big Aird Sandpit [NX 098 602] located in moundy glaciofluvial gravels near Stranraer, have provided radiocarbon dates of >37 ka 14 C BP, >33ka 14 C BP, and 28,940 +850/ -770 14 C BP (outer, middle and inner respectively) (Shotton and Williams, 1973). In view of the sandy sediment (permeable) and the fact that the dates were obtained from fragments of 10 species, some contamination by young carbon is to be expected.…”

“…Shell fragments typically occur in the lower till, but are also found within the upper till and in overlying glaciofluvial sand and gravel (Moore, 1850;Stone, 1995;Sutherland, 1993;Shotton and Williams, 1973). The two tills are locally separated by a bed of sand from which, at one site, sand-filled ice cast wedges extend downwards into the lower till (Kerr, 1982).…”

Pre-Late Devensian high-arctic marine deposits in SW Scotland

SynopsisWe present new interpretations of Digital Elevation Model (DEM) data and marine fossils collected from three sites on the Rhins of Galloway which, contrary to recent proposals, suggest that the landforms and deposits of the region do not represent evidence for a readvance during the Lateglacial Period. Rather we suggest that the higharctic fauna found in the region are representative of an earlier, colder part of a Middle Devensian ice-free interval. The predominantly streamlined topography, and distinct lack of identifiable discrete moraine limits argues for only minor, local glacial advances, in combination with widespread rapid retreat across the peninsula at the end of the Lateglacial.

We report 63 new radiocarbon analyses of samples from São Miguel, the largest (ca 62 × 13km) and most populous (ca 150,000 inhabitants) island in the Azores archipelago (Fig 1). The samples are mainly carbonized tree roots and other plant material collected from beneath 20 mafic lava flows and spatter deposits and from within and beneath 42 trachytic pyroclastic flow, pyroclastic surge, mudflow, pumice-fall, and lacustrine deposits and lava flows. One calcite date is reported. The samples were collected during geologic mapping of the entire island (Moore, in press A; sample locations are shown on this map). Nine 1:25,000-scale topographic maps, published in 1983 by the Portuguese Army Cartographic Service, cover the island; samples and locations described below refer to these named sheets.
