Additional information
Nero gives a calibrated ("corrected") age, 3360 +/- 550 BP, for this sample. This date is suspect, because the bone was heavily mineralized.
Comments
DkLm-1, Hacault: This is an Oxbow site. Nero suggests that BGS-1717 may be unreliable because of permineralization of the bone. The BGS-1753 sample was not permineralized. Both dates are given by Nero as calibrations of the measured ages (E. Nielsen, p.c. 1998).
