colleagues, It is a great pleasure to welcome you here in Aarhus as attendees of the 2nd Radiocarbon and Diet Conference. The idea with this meeting is to bring together experts from diverse research fields to en- courage interdisciplinary discussions and to inspire a critical dialogue between the different research fields with the aim to enrich and enhance radiocarbon and dietary studies. We are looking forward with excitement to three great days here in Aarhus. Furthermore, we hope you may find time to enjoy a little of Aarhus - the European culture capital 2017 - while you are here. We will do our best to guide and help you with enquiries you may have during your stay with us. Welcome to Aarhus and the 2nd Radiocarbon and Diet Conference.

  • 1557 the Impact of Holocene Climate on the Development
    RADIOCARBON, Vol 52, Nr 4, 2010, p 1557–1569 © 2010 by the Arizona Board of Regents on behalf of the University of Arizona THE IMPACT OF HOLOCENE CLIMATE ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF PREHISTORIC SOCIETIES IN SOUTHERN SIBERIA Marianna Kulkova Department of Geology and Geoecology, Radiocarbon Lab, State Herzen Pedagogical University, St. Petersburg, Russia. Corresponding author. Email: [email protected]. Sergey Krasnienko Institute for the History of Material Culture Russian Academy of Science, St. Petersburg, Russia. ABSTRACT. Geochemical data of 10Be, 14C, 18O obtained from natural archives (tree rings, ice sheets, varves, corals) indi- cates that the climate during the Holocene was not stable. The cosmogenic isotope fluctuations are bound by the periodicity on solar activity and climatic changes. The sharpest and most abrupt climatic deteriorations are registered in the Early and Middle Holocene at 8200, 5800, 5400, 4300, and 2800 cal BP. These events are characterized by cold conditions. The impact of climate on human communities in steppe depressions in southern Siberia (Nazarovo, Minusinsk, and Turano-Uyuk) was noticeable. The differences of local landscape-climatic conditions in these depressions were connected with global climatic changes to determine the processes of occupation, development, and migrations of ancient societies during the Neolithic, Bronze Age, and Iron Age. The chronology of archaeological cultures was also correlated with the local and global climatic changes during the Early and Middle Holocene in southern Siberia. Here, we generalize the literature data about Holocene cli- matic changes and archaeological cultures in the southern Siberia region. INTRODUCTION Climatic fluctuations influenced the development of prehistoric societies. The Holocene period had one of the most favorable climates in human history.

MILLET CONSUMPTION IN SIBERIA PRIOR TO MID-SECOND MILLENNIUM BC? A REVIEW OF RECENT DEVELOPMENTS Svetlana V Svyatko1* • Rick J Schulting2 • Dmitriy Papin3,4 • Paula J Reimer1 1Queen’s University Belfast, 14Chrono Centre for Climate, the Environment, and Chronology, Belfast BT7 1NN UK 2University of Oxford, School of Archaeology, 1 South Parks Road, Oxford, UK 3Altay State University, Barnaul Laboratory of Archaeology and Ethnography of South Siberia, Barnaul, Russia 4Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Institute of Archaeology and Ethnography, Novosibirsk, Russia ABSTRACT. In this paper we discuss recent developments in documenting the spread of millet across the Eurasian steppes. We emphasize that, despite a recent proposal that millet consumption in southern Siberia can be attributed to the Early Bronze Age (i.e., the late third to early second millennium BC), at present there are no direct data for southern Siberia indicating the consumption of millet prior to the Late Bronze Age, from the 14th century BC. We also present in full the combined stable isotope and 14C datasets from the Minusinsk Basin to support this conclusion. KEYWORDS: Bronze Age, millet, Minusinsk Basin, radiocarbon dating, stable isotopes.

The results are presented of a new program of radiocarbon dating undertaken on 88 human skeletons. The indi- viduals derived from Eneolithic to Early Iron Age sites—Afanasievo, Okunevo, Andronovo (Fedorovo), Karasuk, and Tagar cultures—in the Minusinsk Basin of Southern Siberia. All the new dates have been acquired from human bone, which is in contrast to some of the previous dates for this region obtained from wood and thus possibly unreliable due to old-wood effects or re-use of the timber. The new data are compared with the existing 14C chronology for the region, thereby enabling a clearer understanding to be gained concerning the chronology of these cultures and their place within the prehistory of the Eurasian steppes. INTRODUCTION The results of radiocarbon dating are of particular importance for the establishment of the chronol- ogy of cultures not recorded in written sources, as is the case for most of the cultures of prehistoric Southern Siberia. Some of the first 14C dates obtained for the prehistoric complexes of Southern Siberia (Scythian monuments of the Altai Mountain region) were published in Radiocarbon in 1965 (Butomo 1965), and since then the various aspects of the area’s 14C chronology have been presented and discussed in its pages (e.g.

  • Southwest Greenland Shelf Glaciation During MIS 4 More Extensive Than During the Last Glacial Maximum
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Southwest Greenland shelf glaciation during MIS 4 more extensive than during the Last Glacial Maximum Marit-Solveig Seidenkrantz 1*, Antoon Kuijpers2, Jesper Olsen 3, Christof Pearce 1, Sofa Lindblom4, Johan Ploug1,5, Piotr Przybyło1,6 & Ian Snowball7 Although geological and modelling evidence indicate that the last glacial inception in North America was in NE Canada, little is known about the glacial response of the nearby western Greenland Ice Sheet (GIS) during the glacial advance of marine oxygen isotope stage 4 (MIS4). Our multi-proxy study of a marine sediment core collected about 60 km southwest of the Outer Hellefsk Moraines demonstrates that in the southern Davis Strait region the most extreme Greenland shelf glaciation of the last glacial cycle occurred during MIS 4, with another prominent glacial advance at 37–33 kyr BP. During those periods the GIS likely reached the Outer Hellefsk Moraines in this area. Except for these two periods, our data suggest signifcant advection of relatively warm Irminger Sea Water by the West Greenland Current since MIS 4. This advection likely limited the extent of the MIS2 glaciation on the SW Greenland shelf. Decreased precipitation over southwestern Greenland predicted by atmospheric models as a downstream efect of a much larger MIS2 Laurentide Ice Sheet may have played an additional role. At the end of the last interglacial (Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 5e) approximately 115,000 years ago (115 kyr BP, before present), the astronomically-driven decline of northern summer insolation and resulting atmospheric and ocean feedback processes led towards the frst step in glacial ice sheet formation in the North American region1.
