TL;DR: The methodology of dating intercalated calcareous materials at archaeological sites by dis-equilibrium in the uranium decay series is reviewed for estimating dates of occupation of the sites in this article.
Abstract: The methodology of dating intercalated calcareous materials at archaeological sites by dis-equilibrium in the uranium decay series is reviewed for estimating dates of occupation of the sites Some examples of the method using travertine and artifacts and biological samples from travertine layers are presented

TL;DR: In this article, the applicability of isotopic analysis in marble provenance determination was studied, and some limiting factors include: 1) the isotopic inhomogeneity of marble from small quarrying areas, 2) similar isotopic composition of marbles from geographically different areas, 3) isotopic concidence of MARs from distant sources, and 4) variety of trace element composition of MARbles.

TL;DR: Aitken et Huxtable as discussed by the authors proposed an analysis of l'echantillon date between 1100-1350, based on the date of the first publication of this paper.

TL;DR: An archaeomagnetic study of hearths dated at 12,000 B.P. as mentioned in this paper showed that the earth's magnetic field differed little from its present position, and that the radiocarbon time-scale for the period before 7000 B. P. may be more accurate than for the periods 6500-4500 B.
Abstract: An archaeomagnetic study of hearths dated at 12,000 B.P. Indicates that the earth's magnetic field differed little from its present position. These new data support doubts which exist about the reality of the Gottenburg excursion. They also suggest that the radiocarbon time-scale for the period before 7000 B. P. May be more accurate than for the period 6500-4500 B.P. Information was also obtained about temperatures, temperature gradients and movement of hearth stones in Magdalenian times.
