Abstract

We carried out a detailed rock-magnetic and absolute paleointensity investigation on well-dated, presumably the oldest American pottery from northern Colombia (around 4000 B.C.) The study aims to contribute to the reconstruction of Earth’s Magnetic Field strength fluctuations in the southern hemisphere, improving extremely incipient archaeomagnetic database for the Caribbean region through comprehensive rock-magnetic and archaeointensity analysis of Puerto Chacho pottery (Lat: 10° .110 N, Long: 75° .455 W). Essentially Ti-poor titanomagnetite and some fractions of hematite are main magnetic carriers of apparently pseudo-single-domain state. Individual intensities obtained from Puerto Chacho archaeological site vary from 8.7 ± 0.5 to 27.3 ± 1.2 μT, which corresponds to the Virtual Axial Dipole Moments (VADM) values between 2.2 ± 0.1 and 6.8 ± 0.3 1022 Am2. The mean Puerto Chacho’s intensity determined for all twenty-three accepted values is 17.1 ± 6.2 μT, corresponding to the mean VADM of 4.2 ± 1.5 1022 Am2. These values are significantly lower compared to nearby San Jacinto paleointensities (Goguitchaishvili et al. in Phys Earth Planet Interiors 31:107061, 2023), considered belonging older archaeological periods. Moreover, the absolute intensity values obtained from the Puerto Chacho pottery yielded relatively low values compared to those derived from three available global field prediction models SHA.DIF.14 K, CALS10k.1b and ArchKalmag.14 K and existing data obtained from previously published studies from Colombia and surrounding areas. A bootstrap analysis of available age distributions and updated radiocarbon calibration values indicate that absolute age intervals for Puerto Chacho are younger, which may explain the difference between the intensity values. The time interval between 6000 and 5000 BP was probably characterized by some drastic variations of the Earth’s magnetic Field strength. Although many studies have recently become available, no conclusions may be drawn about the regional fluctuations of the geomagnetic field strength.

从美洲可能最古老的陶器中获得的绝对地磁古强度
我们对来自哥伦比亚北部(大约公元前4000年)的美国最古老的陶器进行了详细的岩石磁性和绝对古强度调查。本研究旨在通过对查乔港陶器(Lat: 10°)的全面岩石磁性和考古强度分析,为重建南半球的地球磁场强度波动做出贡献,改善加勒比地区极其早期的考古磁数据库。110 N,长:75°。455 W)。贫钛磁铁矿和部分赤铁矿是主要的磁载体,具有明显的伪单畴态。从Puerto Chacho考古遗址获得的单个强度变化范围为8.7±0.5 ~ 27.3±1.2 μT,对应于虚轴偶极矩(VADM)值在2.2±0.1 ~ 6.8±0.3 1022 Am2之间。所有23个可接受值测定的Puerto Chacho强度平均值为17.1±6.2 μT,对应的平均VADM为4.2±1.5 1022 Am2。与附近的圣哈辛托古强度相比,这些值明显较低(Goguitchaishvili et al. in Phys Earth Planet Interiors 31:107061, 2023),被认为属于更古老的考古时期。此外,与三个可用的全球现场预测模型SHA.DIF.14相比,从Puerto Chacho陶器获得的绝对强度值相对较低K, CALS10k。b和ArchKalmag.14K和从哥伦比亚及周边地区先前发表的研究中获得的现有数据。对可用年龄分布和更新的放射性碳校准值的自助分析表明,查乔港的绝对年龄间隔更年轻,这可能解释了强度值之间的差异。6000至5000 BP之间的时间间隔可能以地球磁场强度的剧烈变化为特征。虽然最近进行了许多研究,但对地磁场强度的区域波动还没有得出结论。
