ABSTRACT. We present a compilation of tropospheric 14 CO 2 for the period 1950-2010, based on published radiocarbon data from selected records of atmospheric CO 2 sampling and tree-ring series. This compilation is a new version of the compilation by and consists of yearly summer data sets for zonal, hemispheric, and global levels of atmospheric 14 C. In addition, compiled (and extended) monthly data sets for 5 atmospheric zones (3 in the Northern Hemisphere and 2 in the Southern Hemisphere) are reported. The annual data sets are for use in regional and global carbon model calculations, while the extended monthly data sets serve as calibration curves for 14 C dating of recent, short-lived terrestrial organic materials.

“…Goslin (1957:42) identified the rind as Cucurbita pepo, but subsequent examination by Yarnell (1964: 103) indicates that it was gourd. Charcoal from a hearth outside the house structure was radiocarbon dated at A.D. 441+250 (C-214, reported in Libby 1965). This date falls within the Middle Woodland period; Baby (1949) and Webb and Baby (1957) consider the Cowan Creek Mound to be Adena.…”

The Beginnings of Cultivation in the Midwest‐Riverine Area of the United States

Archaeology has become increasingly concerned with the interpretation of prehistoric subsistence settlement systems. In the area of the major river valleys south of the Great Lakes, a significant example of this concern has been the question o f the role of cultivation in changing subsistence economies from the Late Archaic through Woodland periods. This article assembles all published (and unpublished) archaeological information on the remains o f cultivated plants recovered f r o m Woodland sites in the Midwest-Riverine area. It then reviews current hypotheses for the beginnings of cultivation in light of this evidence.WITH THE GROWING concern of archaeology in recent decades for understanding prehistoric cultural-ecological adaptations, considerable attention has been focused on the problem of the beginnings of cultivation and its role in cultural development. Since prehistoric cultivation in temperate North America involved hoe and digging stick technologies exclusively, cultivation was largely or entirely restricted to lighter soils particularly associated with forested areas and river valley systems. Therefore, a logical area in eastern North America to look for the beginnings of cultivation in prehistory would be the complex of major river valleys lying immediately south of the Great Lakes. Here, the drainages of the Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri, Illinois, Wabash, and lesser streams converge in a complex network of valleys, offering a particularly advantageous situation for initial experiments with cultivation.The study of prehistoric subsistence settlement systems has come into vogue in the past ten years. This has resulted in the excavation of many Early and Middle Woodland Period habitation sites, with special care taken to recover the entire range of faunal

“…The article contains a number of factual errors. Further, some dates, but not all, are cited as reports from 14C labs by the senior author and others (Berger et al 1965;Berger and Libby 1966), but some primary sources are not acknowledged. In no case are published reports by the sample submitter credited, although these would lead the reader to important contextual information and technical descriptions of the specimens.…”

ABSTRACT. A recent publication on directly dated basketry specimens from the western United States (Berger et al. 1998, Radiocarbon 40(2):615-20) contained some misleading information, and in a few cases discussed radiocarbon ages from unacknowledged sources. We provide the missing original citations along with some clarifications. We focus especially on the age of distinctive Fort Rock and Multiple Warp-style sandals, for which we provide additional previously unreported 14C ages. Direct dates on fibers from Fort Rock sandals from 3 different sites range in age from 10,500 cal BP to about 9200 cal BP. Contextual evidence suggests that Multiple Warp sandals may date as early as 6600 cal BP, but the few directly dated specimens are less than 1000 yr old.
