Journal ArticleDOI
The early chronology of broomcorn millet (Panicum miliaceum) in Europe
TL;DR: In this article, 10 grains of broomcorn millet were directly dated by AMS and showed that the millet grains were significantly younger than the contexts in which they had been found, and that the hypothesis of an early transmission of the crop from east to west could not be sustained.
Journal ArticleDOI
Developments in the calibration and modeling of radiocarbon dates
Christopher Bronk Ramsey,Michael W. Dee,Sharen Lee,Takeshi Nakagawa,Takeshi Nakagawa,Richard A. Staff,Richard A. Staff +6 more
TL;DR: A review of the state-of-the-art in the area of radiocarbon dating can be found in this paper, with a focus on the development of statistical tools that can be used with, and help develop, such calibration data.
Journal ArticleDOI
SG06, a fully continuous and varved sediment core from Lake Suigetsu, Japan: stratigraphy and potential for improving the radiocarbon calibration model and understanding of late Quaternary climate changes
Takeshi Nakagawa,Katsuya Gotanda,Tsuyoshi Haraguchi,Toru Danhara,Hitoshi Yonenobu,Achim Brauer,Yusuke Yokoyama,Ryuji Tada,Keiji Takemura,Richard A. Staff,Rebecca L. Payne,Christopher Bronk Ramsey,Charlotte Bryant,Fiona Brock,Gordon Schlolaut,Michael H. Marshall,Pavel E. Tarasov,Henry F. Lamb +17 more
TL;DR: This article reported key litho-stratigraphic information concerning the SG06 sediment core, highlighting changes in the clarity of annual laminations (varves) with depth, and possible implications for the mechanism of the climate change.
Journal ArticleDOI
High-precision 40Ar/39Ar dating of Pleistocene Tuffs and temporal anchoring of the Matuyama-Brunhes Boundary
Darren F. Mark,Paul R. Renne,Paul R. Renne,Ross C. Dymock,Victoria C. Smith,Justin I. Simon,Leah E. Morgan,Richard A. Staff,Ben S. Ellis,Nicholas J. G. Pearce +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, high-precision 40 Ar/39 Ar ages for proximal tuffs from the Toba supervolcano in Indonesia, and the Bishop Tuff and Lava Creek Tuff B in North America have been obtained.
Journal ArticleDOI
The virtues of small grain size: Potential pathways to a distinguishing feature of Asian wheats

TL;DR: The results indicate that the pace of a eastward/southward spread was interrupted around 1800 BC on the borders of the distinct culinary zone recognized by Fuller and Rowlands (2011), but regained pace around 200–300 years later in central-east China with a diminished grain size.
