“…The two charcoal samples used were dated to 4525 ± 30 and 4475 ± 30 14 C yr BP. These 14 C ages are not significantly different from those of the piles (Flaux et al, 2016). This suggests that the charcoals must originate from wood that lived during the occupation, and thus characterized by very little old wood effect, if any.…”

“…bivalve and a sample of fragile foliar material, picked from a peat where the bivalve was found embedded and dated to 10,600–11,080 (95%) cal yr BP (core SG in the modern Danube delta). The bivalve, being a juvenile, was small and could have easily been transported onto the marsh surface where the peat was developing.A pair of a Monodacna caspia bivalve (single valve) and a fragile piece of Phragmites reed dated to 9040–9420 (95%) cal yr BP (core MD04-2774; offshore the modern Danube delta).Two paired samples of an articulated Mytilus galloprovincialis bivalve and charcoal from a ~15-cm-thick archeological layer recovered in several cores (SOZ-7 cores; Alepu lagoon, Bulgaria) (Flaux et al 2016). The archeological site, dated to 5050–5300 (95%) cal yr BP (beginning of Early Bronze Age), was a pile-dwelling settlement recently discovered in the present Alepu lagoon (Flaux et al 2016).…”

“…The piles indicate the beginning of the pile-dwelling occupation and were dated to 4550 ± 30 14 C yr BP. The charcoal pieces that we used to calculate the reservoir age offsets were found in the archeological layer of the site occupation that lasted less than 80 years (Flaux et al, 2016). The two charcoal samples used were dated to 4525 ± 30 and 4475 ± 30 14 C yr BP.…”

Constraining radiocarbon (14C) reservoir age offsets is critical to deriving accurate calendar-age chronologies from 14C dating of materials which did not draw carbon directly from the atmosphere. The application of 14C dating to such materials is severely limited in hydrologically sensitive environments like the Black Sea because of the difficulty to quantify reservoir age offsets, which can vary quickly and significantly through time, due to the dynamics of the biogeochemical cycling of carbon. Here we reconstruct 14C reservoir age offsets (Rshell-atm) of Holocene bivalve shells from the coastal Black Sea relatively to their contemporaneous atmosphere. We show that the 14C reservoir age offset and the stable carbon isotope composition of bivalve shells are linearly correlated in this region. From a biogeochemical standpoint, this suggests that inorganic stable carbon isotope and 14C compositions of Black Sea coastal waters are controlled by the balance between autochthonous primary productivity and heterotrophic respiration of allochthonous pre-aged terrestrial organic matter supplied by rivers. This provided an important implication for Black Sea geochronology as the reservoir age offset of 14C-dated bivalve shell can be inferred from its stable carbon isotope composition. Our results provide a fundamental and inexpensive geochemical tool which will considerably improve the accuracy of Holocene calendar age chronologies in the Black Sea.

Aim. To show the decisive importance of the Early Bronze Age in the development of Eurasian civilization as a system of interconnected, interdependent and intensely interacting societies that arose during the Early Bronze Age I (late 4th millennium BCЕ) and flourished during the Early Bronze Age II-III (3,000 BCЕ). The Balkans became one of the centers of the Circumpontic cultural system, integrated during the Early Bronze Age to varying degrees with the northwest of Anatolia and the northwest of the Black Sea, as well as with Central Europe and the Aegean cultures. Methodology. The cultural and social characteristics of the communities / chiefdoms of the Balkans of the Early Bronze Age are given from diachronic perspectives. Results. In the early Bronze Age, a system of equal partners emerged in the Balkans, based on a common economic platform, including the chiefdoms of Ezero, Yunatsite, Sitagroi in the south, as well as the conglomeration of dispersed sedentary and semi-mobile communities of Coţofeni without a clear centralized political power on the Lower Danube, the chiefdom Vucedol, etc. The presence of an exchange of prestigious items (jewelry from Dubenе-Balinov Gorum) controlled by the elite, together with the absence of archaeological traces of conflicts indicate the Early Bronze Age was a peaceful period in the Balkans. Research implications. It was found that the standards of the chiefdoms of the Western Circumpontic region corresponded to the benchmarks of the Trojan chiefdoms, although the material markers of these standards were different. 1
