Precise and accurate age determination of artefacts, structures, and traces of human activity is crucial for correct interpretation in all archaeological research. Dating is also central in the interpretation of climate and environmental changes in stratigraphic contexts.
ArchLab is offering dating services of many different types of archaeological material including:
Radiocarbon dating: Uppsala Tandem Laboratory and Lund radiocarbon dating laboratory
Luminescence dating: Lund Luminescence Dating Laboratory (LLL
Dendrochronology: National Swedish Laboratory for Wood Anatomy and Dendrochronology (LWD)
ArchLab support for dating will cover field sampling for highly resolved chronologies, sample-specific calibration of radiocarbon dates (e.g. reservoir effects), and Bayesian statistics to combine the results from different dating methods and enhance dating precision.
