This series reports some of the measurements made since publication of the previous list (R, 1979, v 21, p 48–94). Acetylene proportional gas counting methods essentially remain as described in Saskatchewan II (R, 1960, v 2, p 73). Bone dating is now carried out on soluble collagen extract (Longin, 1971). The laboratory is associated with the National Museum of Canada to provide radiocarbon dating service for Canadian archaeologists but commercial services are also available to others.
Recent work in the Göksu river valley has brought questions of long-distance communication routes to the forefront of discussion. The valley has been long regarded as a potential conduit from the Anatolian plateau to the Mediterranean, yet no formal testing as to whether it was geographically suited to this use has taken place. The discovery of the site of Çömlek Tepesi in the upper Göksu valley and work at Kilse Tepe south of Mut has given further weight to the idea that the valley served as a communication route at points in time, and has encouraged testing the notion that a route through the valley would be attractive based on geography. Computerised modelling using least-cost pathway analysis (LCPA) was used to test whether the Göksu valley could serve as a communication route, and if so, the approximate location of that route based upon geographical constraints. In this paper, the methods of LCPA are reviewed and an example of its use is presented. Advocated as an exploratory rather than explanatory technique, the application of LCPA in the Göksu valley has strengthened current assumptions about regional and extra-regional interaction and raised new questions that refined the project's research design.
This series reports some of the measurements made since publication of the previous list. Methods essentially remain as described in Saskatchewan II (R, 1960, v 2, p 73). The laboratory now joins operation with the National Museum of Canada, Ottawa. The prime purpose is to provide radiocarbon dating service for Canadian archaeologists through the National Museum, although commercial services are available to others as analytical capacity permits.
This series reports some of the measurements made since the previous list. Methods essentially remain as described in Saskatchewan II (R, 1960, v 2, p 73) with expanded facilities and new electronic equipment since 1973. The laboratory operates commercially, administered by the Saskatchewan Research Council under the direction of A A Rutherford.
This series reports some of the measurements made since publication of the last list (R, 1981, v 23, p 94–135). Also included are a number of earlier dates previously withheld pending submitter evaluation. For some the authors have been unable to obtain appropriate comment. References to other publication of these dates are given where known.Acetylene proportional gas counting methods essentially remain as described in Saskatchewan II (R, 1960, v 2, p 73). Bone dating is carried out on soluble collagen extract (Longin, 1971) since 1978.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
