New constraints on the medieval repopulation process in the northern Iberian plateau from the full vector archaeomagnetic dating of two hearths at La Pudia site (Caleruega, Burgos, Spain)

Further Evidence of High Intensity During the Levantine Iron Age Anomaly in Southwestern Europe: Full Vector Archeomagnetic Dating of an Early Iron Age Dwelling From Western Spain

“…Samples from the burnt surface around the central fireplace (considering both the survey‐pit and the floor) have registered a possible pTRM, which due to the bad quality of the signal cannot be associated with any archeological information. Moreover, as the Q n ratio values (Figure 2) from the survey‐pit and floor are lower than those from the central fireplace, the latter samples have better registered a TRM during the last heating (e.g., García‐Redondo et al., 2019, 2020).…”

“…However, most of them do not fulfill quality criteria because they do not have ATRM or cooling rate corrections or are only based on one single specimen (e.g., Burakov et al., 2006; Nachasova & Burakov, 2009; Nachasova et al., 2007). Fortunately, now more new reliable archeointensity data for the first millennium BCE for Iberia (Molina‐Cardín et al., 2018; Osete et al., 2016, 2020) are available. But to better constrain the EMF evolution for the Late Bronze‐Early Iron Ages in Western Europe more data are needed.…”

“…Hereafter, we will refer to the central fireplace for hand-blocks CSV 7, 8, 13, and14; to the floor for CSV 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, and 10; and to the survey-pit for CSV 1, 2, 11, and 12 (Figure 1c). We collected all hand-blocks following the methodology outlined by García-Redondo et al (2020).…”
