dc.description.abstractOne of the greatest challenges of contemporary archaeology is to synthesize the large amount of radiocarbon and archaeological data into a useful dialogue. For the late Epipaleolithic and the Early Neolithic of the Near East, many C-14 ages have been published without precise stratigraphic documentation. Consequently, for archaeological age models we often must use some more elementary approaches, such as probabilistic summation of calibrated ages. The stratigraphy of Kortik Tepe allows us for the first time to study an extended series of C-14 ages of the earliest Holocene. In particular, we are able to analyze the data according to stratigraphic position within a well-documented profile. However, because of a plateau in the C-14 age calibration curve at the transition from the Younger Dryas to the Early Holocene, dates of this period can be interpreted only if an extended sequence of dates is available. Due to problems remaining in the calibration procedure, the best way to achieve an interpretation is to compare the results of different C-14 calibration software. In the present paper, we use the results of the calibration programs OxCal and CalPal. This approach has important implications for future age modeling, in particular for the question of how to date the transition from the Epipaleolithic to the PPNA precisely and accurately.en_US

dc.description.sponsorshipThe German team is grateful to Vecihi Ozkaya and his team for their cooperation and support. The description of the stratigraphy and the 14C dates are part of a cooperative project between Kurt W Alt, Institute of Anthropology (AG Alt), Mainz; Simone Riehl and Katleen Deckers, Archaeobotany of the University of Tuebingen; and Marion Benz, Department of Near Eastern Archaeology, Freiburg. We owe our thanks to the German Research Foundation for financial support (AL 287/9-1, BE 4218/2-1). Elisabetta Boaretto and her team are thanked for the invitation to a most fruitful conference.en_US
