Excavations at Northton, Western Isles of Scotland, 2010; Data Structure Report (2011)
Report
Bishop, R., Church, M., & Rowley-Conwy, P. (2011). Excavations at Northton, Western Isles of Scotland, 2010; Data Structure Report. [No known commissioning body]

A Mesolithic human presence in the Outer Hebrides has long been postulated by palynologists but archaeological evidence for this period has, until recently, eluded discovery by archaeologists. The discovery of the first radiocarbon-dated Mesolithic d... Read More about Excavations at Northton, Western Isles of Scotland, 2010; Data Structure Report.

An Icelandic freshwater radiocarbon reservoir effect: Implications for lacustrine 14C chronologies (2011)
Journal Article
Ascough, P., Cook, G., Hastie, H., Dunbar, E., Church, M., Einarsson, Á., …Dugmore, A. (2011). An Icelandic freshwater radiocarbon reservoir effect: Implications for lacustrine 14C chronologies. Holocene, 21(7), 1073-1080. https://doi.org/10.1177/0959683611400466

A freshwater radiocarbon (14C) reservoir effect (FRE) is a 14C age offset between the atmospheric and freshwater carbon reservoirs. FREs can be on the order of 10 000 14C yr in extreme examples and are a crucial consideration for 14C dating of palaeo...

Multiproxy pollen, sediment, plant macrofossil and subfossil insect analyses are used to explore environmental change at Stóra-Mörk in southern Iceland between ad 500 and 1500. Previous palaeoecological studies in Iceland have indicated that vegetati...
