Radiocarbon Dating of Oglakhty Grave Using a Wiggle Matching Method

Pastoralists and mobility in the Oglakhty cemetery of southern Siberia: new evidence from stable isotopes

“…Polychrome silk cloth—similar to that found in burial grounds in the Tarim River Basin—helped place Oglakhty between the third and early fourth centuries AD (Loubo-Lesnichenko 1994: 194). This dating has been confirmed by 14 С wiggle-match dating of logs from one of the timber graves (Pankova et al 2010).…”

A lack of freshwater reservoir effects in human radiocarbon dates in the Eneolithic to Iron Age in the Minusinsk Basin

“…For fish samples (lab IDs SS MBF), note that the δ 15 N values were taken from the sample not subjected to lipid removal; the final δ 13 C value was obtained by taking the carbon isotopic value of the sample which had undergone the lipid removal process and adding 1.5 ‰ for the Suess effect (see Sample Pretreatment section for details). The δ 34 S values were taken from the sample also not subjected to lipid removal (lab IDs UBA) (twenty-sixth to twenty-first century BC for Okunevo, thirteenth to tenth century BC for Karasuk, and third-early fifth century AD for Tashtyk individuals) support the existing chronology attributing Okunevo culture to twenty-fifth to eighteenth, Karasuk-to the fifteenth to ninth century BC, and Tashtyk-to the third-early fifth century AD (Svyatko et al 2009;Pankova et al 2010;Zaitseva et al 2007). …”
