Archaeological bone collagen is highly useful for radiocarbon (14C) dating and
palaeodietary reconstruction. However, collagen preservation and carbon contamination are …

Archaeological bones are now routinely dated in many radiocarbon laboratories through the
extraction of “collagen.” Methods for “collagen” extraction vary, and several laboratories now …

ABSTRACT In 1976, Yosihiko H. Sinoto conducted extensive archaeological survey and
excavations on Reao Atoll, Tuamotu Archipelago as part of a Japanese, multi‐disciplinary …

Radiocarbon dating archaeological bone typically requires 300–1000 mg material using
standard protocols. We report the results of reducing sample size at both the pretreatment …

Radiocarbon dating is an established method that helps to determine the absolute age of
archaeological finds. This topical review presents the basic principles of the radiocarbon …
