| Description | Radiocarbon dating of burials from the Late and Final Bronze Age faces two significant methodological problems. The first is the transition to the cremation burial ritual. The samples taken from bones that have undergone cremation are affected by carbon from the firewood used in the burial pyre. The second problem is the shape of the calibration curve IntCal20 (Reimer et al. 2020), which shows a significant difference between 1400-1300 BC and may cause a strong oscillation systematic biases in dating. In this paper, we present the radiocarbon data from different sample types. The first example will be data from exceptional skeletal graves that will be evaluated by equating the age of the human bone collagen, the HBCO method (Barta - Stolc 2007) and the multiphase model in OxCal (Bronk Ramsey 2017). We will highlight the difference with the typologically contemporaneous data obtained from urn burials dated on the basis of calcified bones (Přáslavice). The final example will be the urn burials dated on the basis of archaeobotanical samples (Znojmo). We will analyse the sampling procedure, now available data and offer possible interpretative hypotheses. Radiocarbon measurements allow us to evaluate the temporal relationships and refine absolute chronology. Results have to be placed in an overall context, so that the statement is meaningful. |
