<< Hello to all,
I am faced with the problem of dating a settlement mound with occupation
layers throughout the medieval and post-medieval periods, actually up to
today.
Is there any literature out there where the problems of 14C-dating in the
past 4-500 years are tackled ?
I would be grateful for any hint !
regards

I have always heard that the accuracy breaks down in recent times--have you
considered OCR dating? Seems to work pretty well with later sites. Carl Steen
