Radiocarbon Dating of Olive Stones and Bones

The data Table 1 provides in its first column (ID), a running number (ID1 to ID37) for each of the 37 ¹⁴C-dated samples. These IDs are used, below, to abbreviate the identification of dated samples (e.g. ID1 = OxA-32124: 2908 ± 28 BP). Then follows the laboratory identifier (LabCode) and measured 14C-age. The following columns show the dated MATERIAL (olive stone, bone), the PHASE (A, B, C, C1, D, D1, E, I) to which the sample is attributed, the sample DEPTH [m], the ROOM number from which the sample was taken, and the excavation CONTEXT number. The last column contains the calibrated age with units [calBC ± 68%], calculated by CalPal-software based on IntCal20. This notation is used in preference of multiple calendric age intervals, for which unitary probabilities are often wrongly assumed (see below).
