“…Archaeological ceramics have traditionally played a vital role in the development of chronological sequences, with relative dating techniques such as typology, stratigraphy and seriation all used extensively. Direct radiocarbon dating of pottery is relatively uncommon due to the presence of carbon sources with differing ages, for example geological carbon remaining in the clay after firing, added organic temper, carbon from the fuel of the kiln and exogenous contaminants absorbed from the burial environment -although most of these substances have been dated (De Atley 1980;Gabasio et al 1986;Evin et al 1989;Hedges et al 1992;Količ, 1995;Gomes & Vega 1999;Nakamura et al 2001;Mihara et al 2004;Yoshida et al 2004). Surface residues in particular provide a valuable resource for dating programmes (Bayliss & Bronk Ramsey 2004) although their ill-defined chemical compositions can be sources of uncertainty.…”

Techniques for identifying organic residues in pottery have been refined over the years by Professor Evershed and his colleagues. Here they address the problem of radiocarbon dating these residues by accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) which in turn dates the use of the pot. Fatty acids from carcass and dairy products cooked in the pot were isolated from early Neolithic carinated bowls found at the Sweet Track, Somerset Levels, England, and then dated by AMS. The results were very consistent and gave an excellent match to the dendrochronological date of the trackway. The method has wide potential for the precise dating of pottery use on sites.

“…Pottery as a material for 14 C dating has been widely studied since the mid-1980s. Earlier studies (Gabasio et al 1986;Evin et al 1989;Hedges et al 1992;Delque Količ 1995;Gomes and Vega 1999;O'Malley et al 1999;Bonsall et al 2002) focused on the components of carbon in the pottery; different fractions of pottery organic matter have been determined and estimated from the point of view of their reliability for 14 C dating (coating, temper, lipids, humics, residue, HF digest). Interior/ exterior parts of pottery samples have been dated and compared, and different combustion temperatures applied.…”

Another Way of Early Pottery Distribution in Eastern Europe? Case Study of the Pezmog 4 Site, European Far Northeast

A case study of the Neolithic comb ceramic site Pezmog 4 of the Kama culture presents a situation when results of radiocarbon dating change long-existing concepts concerning the development of archaeological events. Until the early 2000s, the chronology of the Kama culture, distributed mainly in the Kama and Vychegda River basins, has been based on comparative-typological analysis. Estimates of the age of this culture changed from the 3rd millennium BC in the 1950s to the 1st half of the 4th millennium BC by the 1990s. Research concerning the Pezmog 4 site in the central Vychegda River basin in 1999-2002 has abruptly changed this chronological understanding. The data obtained put the age of the early stage of Kama culture within the time range 5750-5620 cal BC and allowed us to propose the existence of another way of early pottery distribution in the forest zone of eastern Europe at the beginning of the 6th millennium BC. This innovation probably penetrated from the trans-Ural region.

The paper is devoted to the critical analysis of the radiocarbon dating results of Mesolithic, Neolithic and Chalcolithic complexes of the northeastern part of the East European Plain (Republic of Komi, Arkhangelsk and Vologda Regions and the Nenets Autonomous Area, Russian Federation). The comprehensive evaluation of all available geochronometric data in relation with the studied archaeological events highlighted the following three data sets: reliable, ambiguous and invalid dates. A new chronological model of Far Northeast of Europe colonization and dispersal of innovations over the Holocene is proposed based upon reliable radiocarbon dating results.
