Northwest Anatolia 14C database: 7th - 6th millennia cal BC

Data compiled by Laurens THISSEN
Last updated: 16/06/2004

Preliminary note: dates are presented, wherever possible, in stratigraphic order, with earliest levels first. Dates within stratigraphic units ('phases', 'levels' or 'layers') are presented with earliest dates first. All data are calculated with the conventional Libby half-life of 5568 years.
Those 14C data are interpreted and presented in a CANeW SW & NW Anatolia chart.

Comment ILIPINAR
Five dates, labeled as 'discarded' (Roodenberg and Schier 2001:267) are not included here, as neither are the two dates assigned to the Late Chalcolithic Phase IV (l.c.).

Comment MENTESE
Roodenberg et al. (2003:52, Figs 4, 11) mention an error ±60 for GrN-24463, instead of ±40 as stated in the Groningen 14C database, which we follow here. No dates are available from Mentese stratum 2 (cf. Roodenberg et al. 2003:23).
