This project aims to revolutionize archaeological dating by developing a method to date pottery using lipid residues from food processing. The approach leverages fatty acids adsorbed in pottery walls, enabling precise radiocarbon dating and enhancing the accuracy of archaeological site dating.
Pottery typology is the principal method used to date archaeological sites, however, the approach provides relative ratherthan absolute dates.
Paradoxically, 14C dating using accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) is the technique used to assignabsolute or calendrical dates, but pots, being fabricated from fired clay, i.e. aluminosilicate, lack endogenous organiccarbon and so cannot be 14C dated directly.
Carbonaceous tempers, amorphous residues adhering to the surface andcarbon-based materials co-…
