In many regions, alternatives are explored by the forestry industry for previously commercialized tree species which are rapidly declining in areas outside their optimal climatic niches. However, as the current ranges of tree species have been mainly constrained by human activity, their true climatic and ecological niches are likely different from our observations. For example, little is known about environmental niches and population dynamics of tree species with limited dispersal ability, such as silver fir (Abies alba). Long-term (paleo) records of past landscape composition, past climate, and past disturbances can help to reveal the natural environmental niches of tree species. This study focuses on the Bohemian Forest (Sumava) in Czechia, where the human alteration of forests in higher elevations (>1000 m asl) has only been demonstrated from Medieval times onward. We present an interdisciplinary approach of geochemistry, pollen, charcoal, botanical and insect macro remains from a high-elevation peat record for the last seven millennia. Our multi-proxy study aimed to identify episodes of increased fire and other disturbances such as insect outbreaks, which could have influenced forest dynamics and vegetation succession in this montane region. However, the charcoal and macro-fossil records do not indicate any large local fires, insect outbreaks, browsing, or other disturbances (e.g., anthropogenic) for a major part of the record, suggesting that changes in the vegetation after 6500 cal yr BP were mainly caused by climatic fluctuations. Silver fir (Abies alba) expanded from 4300 cal yr BP, and likely became the dominant tree species at this locality for the next 2000 years, with extremely high pollen values up to 60%. During the establishment of silver fir around the peat bog around 5600 cal yr BP and its expansion around 4300 cal yr BP, the geochemical record and low counts of the testate amoeba Archerella flavum indicate drier conditions on the peat bog. Comparison with climatic simulations on a 1 x 1-km scale from the CHELSA database suggests that the local expansion of silver fir possibly coincided with a decrease in precipitation during both the wettest and warmest quarter of the year, related to a decreasing trend in seasonality of annual precipitation; this might confirm the species' higher tolerance to drought. Although silver fir is currently extremely rare in the Bohemian Forest, it has the potential for local expansion if logging, fire, and game browsing are kept to a minimum.}, keywords = {Central Europe; drought tolerance; fire; Abies alba; Potential natural vegetation; HOLOCENE CLIMATE; insect outbreaks; Archerella flavum}, year = {2024}, eissn = {1872-616X} } @article{MTMT:34756872, title = {Chronological problems of the 7th–10th-century AD Carpathian Basin in light of radiocarbon data}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34756872}, author = {Szenthe, Gergely Pál and Faragó, Norbert and Gáll, Erwin}, doi = {10.17204/dissarch.2023.443}, journal-iso = {DISSARCH}, journal = {DISSERTATIONES ARCHAEOLOGICAE}, volume = {Ser. 3}, unique-id = {34756872}, issn = {2064-4574}, abstract = {The study presents the evaluation of a radiocarbon series, currently unparalleled in the research of the early medieval Carpathian Basin, which comprises data from the 7th to the 10th century AD.

This study presents the first high-resolution chronology and sedimentary data for the small thermal-spring-fed Lake Pețea, NW Romania, and unravels the evolutionary history of the lake harboring a unique endemic fauna. Its small size and single source of water make it particularly sensitive to hydrological changes. In the recent past, over-exploitation of the thermal water has led to the complete drying up of the lake and the extinction of its fauna. Nevertheless, past spatio-temporal variation of environmental factors, in particular the fluctuation of lake levels and water temperature, must have had a significant impact on the survival and evolution of the endemic mollusk fauna. This fact makes this study particularly important. Based on our results, a three-stage sedimentary evolution occurred, mainly controlled by major climate-driven hydrological changes also seen in regional records, i.e., 17.5–14.5 ka shallow eutrophic lake, 14.5–5.5 ka oligotrophic carbonate-rich lake, and 5.5–0.5 ka shallow eutrophic lake. A major lowstand at 11.7–10.2 ka due to drier climate was followed by progressively rising water levels up to 5 ka followed by a drop. The main control on lake level fluctuations and sedimentary phases was the varying input of thermal water due to recurring increased/decreased recharge of the underground shallow karst water system. The driving factor of thermal water discharge was different during the Late Glacial than the Holocene. It was the warming of the climate at 14.5 ka cal BP and melting of regional ice sheets in addition to increased precipitation that created an oligotrophic lake by recharging the underground thermal water system. Conversely, during the Holocene, increasing/decreasing moisture availability driven by major climate forcings was in control of thermal water recharge, erosion, and fluctuating lake levels.}, year = {2023}, orcid-numbers = {Gulyás, Sándor/0000-0002-3384-2381; Sümegi, Pál/0000-0003-1755-4440} } @article{MTMT:34271414, title = {The Magdalenian site of Hostim, Czech Republic, Central Europe.

Karst (Norway spruce) needles develop a phytolith layer consisting of more or less cubical or cuboid (blocky) phytoliths in their transfusion tissue that becomes continuous toward the apex of the needle. This can be studied in situ in fossil (subfossil) needles under a stereomicroscope. This study reports the blocky-type phytolith preservation in fossil spruce needles in sediment sections of the lake Černé jezero (Bohemian Forest, Czech Republic). The oldest needle containing phytoliths was 7.8 cal ka BP. Despite differences in the Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectra of different age phytoliths, the studied subfossil phytoliths did not lose their globular ultrastructure in the needle tissue, proving the stability of this phytolith morphotype. As the tissue of the needle fossils can preserve phytoliths in situ, further micro-analytical measurements will make these needles promising tools for paleoenvironmental reconstructions. The most favorable period for spruce phytolith formation for the studied region appears to be the period 6.0–4.5 cal ka BP, within the Holocene Climate Optimum period.

The bone remains were uncovered from a solitary grave from the Hun period (5th-century-CE) archaeological site of Solt–Polya-fok (Bács-Kiskun county, Hungary). During the macromorphological examination of the very incomplete and poorly preserved skeleton of SPF15, the inner surface of the skull displayed abnormally pronounced digital impressions (APDIs) and granular impressions (GIs). Recently, it was confirmed that endocranial GIs can be considered as specific signs of TBM; and thus, they are sufficient enough on their own to make a definitive diagnosis of the disease in the palaeopathological practice. On the other hand, APDIs are not specific to TBM but can be tuberculous in origin; their concomitant presence with GIs in SPF15 makes their tuberculous origin very likely. Based on the above, it seems that the adult female from the 5th-century-CE archaeological site of Solt–Polya-fok suffered from TBM. SPF15 is the first reported probable case with tuberculosis (TB) from the Hun period of the present-day territory of Hungary, who gives us invaluable information about the spatio-temporal distribution of the disease in the past. Furthermore, it highlights the paramount importance of diagnostics development, especially the identification and refinement of diagnostic criteria, as without the application of APDIs and GIs, the diagnosis of TB could not have been established in SPF15.}, year = {2023}, eissn = {1873-281X}, orcid-numbers = {Spekker, Olga/0000-0002-0350-1906; Kis, Luca/0000-0002-1021-2854; Tihanyi, Balázs/0000-0001-5124-4468} } @article{MTMT:34124814, title = {AMS, HISTORICAL, AND ARCHAEOLOGICAL DATING OF OPONICE CASTLE}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34124814}, author = {Stykova, B and Styk, M and Repka, D and Svetlik, I and Brabcova, KP and Petrova, M and Hajnalova, M}, doi = {10.1017/RDC.2023.52}, journal-iso = {RADIOCARBON}, journal = {RADIOCARBON}, unique-id = {34124814}, issn = {0033-8222}, year = {2023}, eissn = {1945-5755} } @article{MTMT:34265370, title = {THE POTENTIAL OF BIOGENIC FRACTION ANALYSIS BY RADIOCARBON IN FOOD, DRUG, AND COSMETIC PRODUCTS}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34265370}, author = {Varga, Tamás and Szejke, Dóra and Nemes, Zoltán and Jull, Timothy AJ and Molnár, Mihály}, doi = {10.1017/RDC.2023.98}, journal-iso = {RADIOCARBON}, journal = {RADIOCARBON}, volume = {65}, unique-id = {34265370}, issn = {0033-8222}, abstract = {Biobased content analysis is a well-established, analytically independent, standardized method to determine the biobased content of fuels and plastics, based on differences of the specific radiocarbon ( 14 C) activity of fossil and recent biogenic compounds.

In East-Central (EC) Europe, groups of Palaeolithic humans were present throughout the last glacial maximum, but disappeared suddenly around 15,200 cal BP. In this study cave sediment profiles dated using radiocarbon techniques and a large set of mammal bones dated directly by AMS 14C were used to determine local extinction times. These were, in turn, compared to changes in the total megafauna population of EC Europe derived from coprophilous fungi, the Epigravettian population decline, quantitative climate models, pollen and plant macrofossil inferred climate, as well as to biome reconstructions. The results suggest that the population size of large herbivores decreased in the area after 17,700 cal BP, when temperate tree abundance and warm continental steppe cover both increased in the lowlands. Boreal forest expansion started around 16,200 cal BP. Cave sediments show the decline of narrow-headed vole and arctic lemming populations specifically associated with a tundra environment at the same time and the expansion of the common vole, an inhabitant of steppes. The last dated appearance of arctic lemming was at ~ 16,640 cal BP, while that of the narrow-headed vole at ~ 13,340, and the estimated extinction time of woolly mammoth was either at 13,830 (GRIWM) or 15,210 (PHASE), and reindeer at 11,860 (GRIWM) or 12,550 cal BP (PHASE). The population decline of the large herbivore fauna slightly preceded changes in terrestrial vegetation, and likely facilitated it via a reduction in the intensity of grazing and the concomitant accumulation of plant biomass.

Based on the historical data, each of these groups are thought to have arrived from Asia, although their exact origin and relation to other ancient and modern populations have been debated. Recently, hundreds of ancient genomes were analyzed from Central Asia, Mongolia, and China, from which we aimed to identify putative source populations for the above-mentioned groups. In this study, we have sequenced 9 Hun, 143 Avar, and 113 Hungarian conquest period samples and identified three core populations, representing immigrants from each period with no recent European ancestry. Our results reveal that this “immigrant core” of both Huns and Avars likely originated in present day Mongolia, and their origin can be traced back to Xiongnus (Asian Huns), as suggested by several historians. On the other hand, the “immigrant core” of the conquering Hungarians derived from an earlier admixture of Mansis, early Sarmatians, and descendants of late Xiongnus.

Nevertheless, only two known records—Madaras and Dunaszekcső—preserve highly resolved records with absolute chronologies with minimal uncertainties, which enable the meaningful assessment of feedbacks and short-term climatic fluctuations over this period. The Madaras profile is located at the northern margin fringe of the Bácska loess plateau; Dunaszekcső, located on the Danube to its west, yields a chronology built on over 100 14C dates yet spans only part of MIS 2, missing half of the LGM including its peak. Here, we add to the previously published 14C chronology for Madaras (15 dates) with an additional 17 14C and luminescence ages. Resulting age models built solely on quartz OSL and feldspar pIRIRSL data underestimate the 14C based chronology, which is likely based on inaccuracies related to luminescence signal behavior; we observe age underestimations associated with unusual quartz behavior and significant signal loss, a phenomenon also observed in Serbian and Romanian loess, which may relate to non-sensitized grains from proximal sources. Our new chronology provides higher resolution than hitherto possible, yielding consistent 2 sigma uncertainties of ~150–200 years throughout the entire sequence. Our study indicates that the addition of further dates may not increase the chronological precision significantly. Additionally, the new age model is suitable for tackling centennial-scale changes. The mean sedimentation rate based on our new age-depth model (10.78 ± 2.34 years/cm) is the highest yet recorded in the Carpathian Basin for MIS 2. The resolution of our age model is higher than that for the Greenland NGRIP ice core record.

The vast region encompasses the basins of two major waterways, the Don and the Volga rivers, and was occupied by hunter-gatherer-fisher communities attracted to highly productive forest/aquatic ecotones. The precise dates for the inception of pottery production in this region and the function of pottery is unknown, but such information is vital for charting the pan-Eurasian dispersal of pottery technology and whether there were common motivations for its adoption. To investigate, we conducted AMS dating, including a re-evaluation of legacy radiocarbon dates together with organic residue analysis and microscopy. The dating programme was able to clarify the sequence and show that hunter-gatherer pottery production was unlikely in this region before the 6th millennium BC. Regarding use, stable isotope and molecular analysis of 160 pottery samples from 35 sites across the region shows that terrestrial animal carcass fats were preferentially processed in pots at Middle Volga sites whereas aquatic resources dominate the residues in pottery from the Middle and Upper Don basin. This is supported by fragments of fish, legumes and grasses in the available charred deposits adhering to the inside of pottery from the Don basin. Since the sites from both river basins had similar environmental settings and were broadly contemporaneous, it is posited that pottery use was under strong cultural control, recognisable as separate sub-regional culinary traditions. The 'aquatic hypothesis', previously suggested to explain the emergence of Eurasian pottery, cannot be substantiated in this context. (C) 2021 The Authors.

This paper presents a new radiocarbon (C-14) dataset acquired during the two field seasons 2018-2019 of the TSMO (Trilith Stone Monuments of Oman) project which investigated the spatial and temporal patterns of the triliths. The excavation and sampling of trilith hearths across Oman yielded a dataset of 30 new C-14 dates, extending the use of trilith monuments to as early as the Iron Age III period (600-300 BC). The earlier dates are linked to two-phase trilith sites in south-central Oman. The three C-14 pairs collected from the two-phase trilith sites indicated gaps between the trilith construction phases from 35 to 475 years (2 sigma). The preliminary spatio-temporal analysis shows the geographical expansion of populations using trilith monuments during the 5th to 1st century BC and a later pull back in the 1st and 2nd century AD. The new C-14 dataset for trilith sites will help towards a better understanding of Iron Age communities in southeastern Arabia.}, keywords = {radiocarbon dating; Oman; Arabia; Late Iron Age; trilith monuments}, year = {2021}, eissn = {1945-5755}, pages = {461-471} } @article{MTMT:31995904, title = {PREHISTORIC CHARCOAL GRAFFITI DISCOVERED in KATEŘINSKÁ CAVE, CZECH REPUBLIC}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/31995904}, author = {Golec, M. and Zajicek, P. and Svetlik, I. and Brabcova, K.P. and Marikova, L. and Cermakova, E. and Ovsonkova, Z.A.}, doi = {10.1017/RDC.2021.5}, journal-iso = {RADIOCARBON}, journal = {RADIOCARBON}, volume = {63}, unique-id = {31995904}, issn = {0033-8222}, year = {2021}, eissn = {1945-5755}, pages = {473-480} } @article{MTMT:31839903, title = {Rapid 14C excursion at 3372-3371 BCE not observed at two different locations}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/31839903}, author = {Jull, Timothy AJ and Panyushkina, Irina P. and Molnár, Mihály and Varga, Tamás and Wacker, Lukas and Brehm, Nicolas and László, Elemér and Baisan, Chris and Salzer, Matthew W. and Tegel, Willy}, doi = {10.1038/s41467-020-20695-y}, journal-iso = {NAT COMMUN}, journal = {NATURE COMMUNICATIONS}, volume = {12}, unique-id = {31839903}, issn = {2041-1723}, year = {2021}, eissn = {2041-1723}, orcid-numbers = {Jull, Timothy AJ/0000-0002-4079-4947; Panyushkina, Irina P./0000-0001-8854-2637; Varga, Tamás/0000-0002-2735-1375; Brehm, Nicolas/0000-0003-0248-7345; László, Elemér/0000-0001-7276-7241} } @article{MTMT:32203673, title = {Wiggle-match dating of a floating oak chronology from an early Iron Age grave construction (Eresztvényi forest, Fehérvárcsurgó, Hungary)}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/32203673}, author = {Kern, Zoltán and Jungbert, B. and Morgós, A. and Molnár, Mihály and Horváth, E.}, doi = {10.1017/RDC.2021.70}, journal-iso = {RADIOCARBON}, journal = {RADIOCARBON}, volume = {63}, unique-id = {32203673}, issn = {0033-8222}, year = {2021}, eissn = {1945-5755}, pages = {1415-1427}, orcid-numbers = {Kern, Zoltán/0000-0003-4900-2587} } @article{MTMT:32185873, title = {AN INTERCOMPARISON PROJECT ON 14 C FROM SINGLE-YEAR TREE RINGS}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/32185873}, author = {Kudsk, Sabrina G K and Olsen, Jesper and Hodgins, Gregory W L and Molnár, Mihály and Lange, Todd E and Nordby, Jessica A and Jull, Timothy AJ and Varga, Tamás and Karoff, Christoffer and Knudsen, Mads F}, doi = {10.1017/RDC.2021.75}, journal-iso = {RADIOCARBON}, journal = {RADIOCARBON}, volume = {63}, unique-id = {32185873}, issn = {0033-8222}, year = {2021}, eissn = {1945-5755}, pages = {1445-1452}, orcid-numbers = {Kudsk, Sabrina G K/0000-0001-8288-6252; Olsen, Jesper/0000-0002-4445-5520} } @article{MTMT:32363664, title = {Are ivory antiques actually antique?}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/32363664}, author = {Kufnerova, Jitka and Pachnerova Brabcova, Katerina and Suchy, Vaclav and Ovsonkova, Zuzana A. and Frouzova, Jaroslava and Cajthaml, Tomas and Svetlik, Ivo}, doi = {10.1007/s10611-021-09963-0}, journal-iso = {CRIME LAW SOCIAL CH}, journal = {CRIME LAW AND SOCIAL CHANGE}, volume = {76}, unique-id = {32363664}, issn = {0925-4994}, abstract = {Twenty-five samples of ivory artefacts were analysed using a radiocarbon dating method.

Moreover, the Freshwater Reservoir Effect (FRE) of the nearby Minija River was calculated, ca. 2000 years today with a terminus ad quem of 780 +/- 57 years during prehistory. Consequently, our findings have implications for understanding the cultural and economic development of the Bronze Age in the region, and demonstrate that crop cultivation was adopted ca. 1500 years after the initial integration of animal husbandry in the Early Neolithic.}, year = {2021}, eissn = {2352-4103} } @article{MTMT:32132712, title = {RADIOCARBON DATING of ST.

Twenty-six acacia and three honey samples with unknown botanical origin were collected between 1958 and 2018 and analysed for elemental composition by Microwave Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometry (MP-AES). The elemental analysis was coupled with independent dating method by Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS) to confirm the calendar age of the honey samples and test the possibility of radiocarbon based dating of bee products, which has not been applied before. According to the analytical measurements and statistical analysis, we can conclude that the elemental composition shows change with time in the acacia honey during the last five decades. We have proven that honey preserves carbon isotopic and elemental information of its production time and thus can be applied as an environmental indicator (e.g. trace urban pollutants, precipitation, local industrial or agricultural emission) in reconstruction studies by analysing the non-degradable mineral content. Our results further show that acacia honey is a suitable material for radiocarbon dating, proved by the results compared to the atmospheric radiocarbon bomb-peak. The new approach presented for investigation of honey by radiocarbon-based age determination coupled with elemental analysis can be used in biological, dietary, archaeological or other multidisciplinary studies as well.

The age of the deposit is based on the historic date of the structure on which the travertine was deposited. A textural study of the travertine buildup using a ~22-cm-long diamond-core crosscutting was undertaken. The original aim of the study was to improve our understanding of the controls and possibly also the rate of travertine-precipitation. In addition to characteristic, mm-scale, regular laminations, 0.5–1.0 cm dark-colored intervals were also observed in the core. Correlation of these latter textural changes with well-known changes in the water management of the Spa was greatly hindered by the lack of age data from the interior of the core. Therefore, in addition to the two known points (beginning in 1883 AD and ending 2004 AD) at least one age-datum point, somewhere inbetween, was necessary. Since the timespan of the core obviously included the 1960s of the last century, we expected that the 14C anomaly related to the atmospheric nuclear tests of those years could be detected by isotope-geochemistry. This paper gives a brief overview of the textural features of the investigated travertine and presents the dataset proving the incorporation of considerable amounts of atmospheric carbon in the carbonate precipitate, which, indeed, facilitated the indirect dating of the part of the core containing “bomb” 14C, and this helped us to unfold the factors controlling the observed textural changes of the travertine.}, keywords = {14C bomb-peak, Buda Thermal Karst, historical data collection, indoor-travertine, radiocarbon}, year = {2020}, eissn = {1945-5755}, pages = {1419-1435}, orcid-numbers = {Virág, Magdolna/0000-0001-6104-1963; Molnár, Mihály/0000-0003-4382-9508; Mindszenty, Andrea/0000-0001-8927-3053} } @article{MTMT:31483698, title = {Use of the radiocarbon method for dating of skeletal remains of a mass grave (Brno, the Czech Republic)}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/31483698}, author = {Vymazalova, Katerina and Vargova, Lenka and Horackova, Ladislava and Kala, Jiri and Prichystal, Michal and Svetlik, Ivo and Brabcova, Katerina Pachnerova and Brychova, Veronika}, doi = {10.1007/s11200-019-1217-4}, journal-iso = {STUD GEOPHYS GEOD}, journal = {STUDIA GEOPHYSICA ET GEODAETICA}, volume = {64}, unique-id = {31483698}, issn = {0039-3169}, abstract = {The dating of skeletal remains in archaeology is difficult, especially at findings without burial equipment.

On the basis of an assessment of the archaeological and anthropological context, in combination with radiocarbon dating, it could be concluded that the found skeletal remains were most likely of soldiers who died in the provisional military hospital as a result of injury or infection after the Battle of Austerlitz in 1805. An alternative hypothesis, that they are the remains of soldiers who died in the Battle of Hradec Kralove in 1866, was excluded by radiocarbon dating.}, keywords = {radiocarbon dating; skeletal remains; Napoleonic wars}, year = {2020}, eissn = {1573-1626}, pages = {143-152} } @article{MTMT:31886074, title = {Status of the ams graphitization system in the dendrochronological laboratory at Agh-Ust, Kraków}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/31886074}, author = {Wiktorowski, D. and Krapiec, M. and Rakowski, A. and Cherkinsky, A.}, doi = {10.2478/geochr-2020-0024}, journal-iso = {GEOCHRONOMETRIA}, journal = {GEOCHRONOMETRIA}, volume = {47}, unique-id = {31886074}, issn = {1733-8387}, year = {2020}, eissn = {1897-1695}, pages = {112-117} } @article{MTMT:31640164, title = {Holocene environmental history of the bottomless lake (Tăul fără fund) sphagnum peat bog in băgău, Romania}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/31640164}, author = {Vári, Tamás Zsolt and Molnár, Dávid and Sümegi, Pál and Pál Sümegi, Balázs and Törőcsik, Tünde and Szakál, Edit and Benyó-Korcsmáros, Réka}, doi = {10.24425/sq.2019.126395}, journal-iso = {STUD QUATER}, journal = {STUDIA QUATERNARIA}, volume = {37}, unique-id = {31640164}, issn = {1641-5558}, year = {2020}, eissn = {2300-0384}, pages = {69-77}, orcid-numbers = {Vári, Tamás Zsolt/0000-0002-1763-614X; Molnár, Dávid/0000-0001-5304-0741; Sümegi, Pál/0000-0003-1755-4440} } @article{MTMT:30829922, title = {Osteoarcheological and biomolecular evidence of leprosy from an 11-13th century CE Muslim cemetery in Europe (Orosháza, Sotheast Hungary)}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/30829922}, author = {Balázs, János and Rózsa, Zoltán and Bereczki, Zsolt and Marcsik, Antónia and Tihanyi, Balázs and Karlinger, Kinga and Pölöskei, Gergely and Molnár, Erika and Donoghue, Helen D. and Pálfi, György}, doi = {10.1127/homo/2019/1071}, journal-iso = {HOMO}, journal = {HOMO-JOURNAL OF COMPARATIVE HUMAN BIOLOGY}, volume = {70}, unique-id = {30829922}, issn = {0018-442X}, year = {2019}, eissn = {1618-1301}, pages = {105-118}, orcid-numbers = {Balázs, János/0000-0003-1775-6915; Marcsik, Antónia/0000-0002-3121-4365; Tihanyi, Balázs/0000-0001-5124-4468; Karlinger, Kinga/0000-0002-0846-6687; Molnár, Erika/0000-0001-6660-9239} } @article{MTMT:30933157, title = {New radiocarbon data from the paleosols of the Nyírség blown sand area, Hungary}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/30933157}, author = {Buró, Botond and Lóki, József and Győri, Erika and Nagy, Richárd and Molnár, Mihály and Négyesi, Gábor}, doi = {10.1017/RDC.2019.137}, journal-iso = {RADIOCARBON}, journal = {RADIOCARBON}, volume = {61}, unique-id = {30933157}, issn = {0033-8222}, year = {2019}, eissn = {1945-5755}, pages = {1983-1995}, orcid-numbers = {Buró, Botond/0000-0002-2173-1537} } @article{MTMT:30688739, title = {North Atlantic influences on climate conditions in East-Central Europe in the late Holocene reflected by flowstone compositions}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/30688739}, author = {Demény, Attila and Kern, Zoltán and Németh, Alexandra and Frisia, S and Hatvani, István Gábor and Czuppon, György and Leél-Őssy, Szabolcs and Molnár, Mihály and Óvári, Mihály and Surányi, Gergely and Gilli, A and Wu, CC and Shen, CC}, doi = {10.1016/j.quaint.2019.02.014}, journal-iso = {QUATERN INT}, journal = {QUATERNARY INTERNATIONAL}, volume = {512}, unique-id = {30688739}, issn = {1040-6182}, year = {2019}, eissn = {1873-4553}, pages = {99-112}, orcid-numbers = {Demény, Attila/0000-0003-0522-9018; Kern, Zoltán/0000-0003-4900-2587; Hatvani, István Gábor/0000-0002-9262-7315; Czuppon, György/0000-0002-7231-6042; Gilli, A/0000-0003-4193-2157} } @article{MTMT:30786766, title = {Matrix determination of Bronze Age bracelet via nitrogen assay by instrumental photon activation analysis and radiocarbon dating of its exact age}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/30786766}, author = {Krausova, Ivana and Tajer, Jan and Svetlik, Ivo and Chvatil, David}, doi = {10.1016/j.nimb.2019.03.057}, journal-iso = {NUCL INSTRUM METH B}, journal = {NUCLEAR INSTRUMENTS & METHODS IN PHYSICS RESEARCH SECTION B-BEAM INTERACTIONS WITH MATERIALS AND ATOMS}, volume = {448}, unique-id = {30786766}, issn = {0168-583X}, abstract = {Total nitrogen content via instrumental photon activation analysis was determined to reveal the matrix composition of the bracelet from the late Bronze Age found in the site (hill fort) Sovi Skaly in Karlovy Vary - Drahovice (Drahovice cadastre, Czech Republic) from the collections of the Museum Karlovy Vary.

The supplementary δ13C measurements were also performed on CO2 gas while FTIR was measured on the powder fraction. Based on the FTIR and 14C analyses, our chemical pretreatment protocol was successful in removing contamination from the samples. Good reproducibility was obtained for the 0.2–0.3 mm fraction of blind-tested cremated samples and a maximum age difference of only 150 yr was found for the remaining case studies. This confirms the reliability of our procedure for 14C dating of cremated bones.

The core profiles were C-14 dated, and concentrations of selected elements were determined by ICP MS and HG-AAS. Principal component analysis indicated that Pb, Cu, As and Ag may be useful elements for the reconstruction of historical atmospheric pollution. Total and anthropogenic accumulation rates (ARs) of Pb, Cu and As estimated for the last ca. 3500 years showed similar chronologies, and revealed twelve periods of elevated ARs of Pb, As and Cu related to possible mining and metallurgic activities. In total, four periods of elevated ARs of Pb, Cu and As were detected during the Middle and Late Bronze Ages, including a distinct Late Bronze Age pollution event between 1030 BCE and 910 BCE. The Iron Age included three episodes of increased ARs of Pb and As; the first and the most distinctive episode, recorded between 730 and 440 BCE, was simultaneous with the Bylany culture during the Hallstatt Period. The Roman Age was characterized by one pollution event, two events were detected in the Middle Ages, and the last two during the modern period. Enhanced element ARs in the late 12th and 15th centuries clearly documented the onset of two periods of intense mining in the Ore Mountains. Metal ARs culminated in ca. 1600 CE, and subsequently decreased after the beginning of the Thirty Years'War. The last boom of mining between 1700 CE and 1830 CE represented the last period of important metallurgical operations. Late Medieval and modern period metal ARs are in good agreement with written documents. Earlier pollution peaks suggest that local metal production could have a much longer tradition than commonly believed; however, archaeological or written evidence is scarce or lacking.

The main work involved a review of anthropological findings, analyses of stable carbon (delta C-13) and nitrogen (delta N-15) isotopes, a DNA analysis and radiocarbon dating. Taken together, obtained data do not provide a consistent image. Archaeology rules out the attribution of the remains to Prince Borivoji I (dagger c. 888/889), while anthropology eliminates the possibility of the burial of Boleslav I (dagger 972). With a high degree of probability, both of these scientific disciplines would permit the identification of the individual as Prince Boleslav II (dagger 999), but this possibility is then eliminated by radiocarbon dating. The author suggests the possibility of attributing the remains to a son of Prince Boleslav I, an individual whose name is not documented in written sources and who died before 972.

The production unit consisted of a big rectangular workshop pit with 13 slag pit-furnaces, two waste dumps and a small sunken hut. The stratigraphical sequence, along with abundant pottery and small finds, allows the dating of short-lived smelting activity to a time slot around the third quarter of the first century AD. As a first series of radiocarbon measurements from in-slag charcoal samples resulted in a bewildering date range from the Iron Age right back into the Neolithic, a second dating series has been undertaken. This time exclusively charcoal samples taken from the bottom of the furnace pits have been analysed. The resulting dates fit to the archaeologically derived dating. It is clear that the C-14 content of the in-slag charcoal samples must have been altered already during the process in antiquity. With none of the analysed dates younger than the archaeologically fixed date of the bloomery production unit, it is obvious that a contamination with fossil carbon must have taken place. The wide and inconsistent date range suggests that fossil carbon has entered the metallurgical system within the furnace in an uncontrollable manner. The observed phenomenon has wide implications for other metallurgical sites with high temperature processes under strongly reducing conditions. Charcoal samples from such sites, especially from inside slags, might be contaminated to an unpredictable degree and produce seemingly older dates.
