Abstract

We have collated an extensive regional radiocarbon database for the Mesolithic and Early Neolithic in Northwest Europe in the age range 10,000 to 4000 yrs 14 C-BP (i.e.11.7 ka calBP to 5000 calBP).The database contains more than 4100 individual 14 C-ages (each defined by its specific laboratory code), and which are derived from c. 1000 different archaeological sites.The database is fully (95%) georeferenced and covers the countries Belgium, Denmark, England/Wales, Ireland, the Netherlands, and Scotland.laboratoire), et elles sont dérivées d'environ mille sites archéologiques différents.La banque de données est presque complètement (95%) géoréférencée et couvre la Belgique, le Danemark, l'Angleterre, le pays de Galles, l'Irlande, les Pays-Bas et l'Ecosse.
