Description

Data set includes results of AMS radiocarbon measurements - 14C Age (yrBP) along with calibrated age (cal. BC) as well as isotope measurements (15N, 13C) in case of unburned bone samples (collagen). Table include the information about the sampled material and the archaeological data connected with the samples. All results of radiocarbon measurements were obtained in 2024 year thanks to the NCN grant project: Absolute chronology of burials and loose human bones from the hunter-gatherer Stone Age sites Dudka and Szczepanki in Masuria (NE-Poland), Grant no. 2020/39/B/HS3/02375.

12 bones were selected for radiocarbon dating and stable isotope measurement. Three heavily cremated human bones coming from different layers, one human unburned bone and 8 animal bones and teeth from each layer with archeological finds to establish the chronology of the settlement. The set of animal remains include one dog tooth. Finaly, 4 samples failed due to too low collagen content and 8 samples were measured. One measured sample - of individual XIII-B, shows slightly increased C:N value and shall be interpreted with caution.

Bone and tooth samples were measured mostly in Tandem Laboratory of Uppsala University in Sweden. Eight samples were sent to the laboratory and finally 5 of them could be measured. Three samples were analysed in the Aarhus AMS Centre of Aarhus University in Denmark. Both laboratories made AMS measurements along with precise stable isotope (13C, 15N) measurements EA-IRMS. Additionally, one bone sample was measured in the Vilnius Radiocarbon Laboratory in Lithuania.

More detailed information about the methods used by laboratories are included in the instruction to the table (readme.txt).

Bones used for sampling were osteologically elaborated by Karolina Bugajska.
