Archaeology: Progress and pitfalls in radiocarbon dating
Chris S. M. Turney1, Richard G. Roberts1 & Zenobia Jacobs1
Abstract
Arising from: P. Mellars Nature 439, 931–935 (2006); Mellars replies
The review by Mellars1 provides an archaeological perspective on some of the latest developments in radiocarbon dating of bone. However, his presentation, calibration and interpretation of radiocarbon ages are misleading in some cases, and important technical advances in the pretreatment of other sample types that have increased dating accuracy have been overlooked. These considerations may undermine the conclusions drawn about past human dispersals.
