Abstract

A large series of 56 AMS dates are reported from the Davidson site, occupied during both the Broadpoint and Smallpoint Late Archaic. The focus is on documenting the occupation history of the site itself. The dates on various features often do not match superposition data or associations with diagnostics and provide a case study of the great potential for component mixing on such sites, which can go unrecognized without multiple dates from different materials. Despite that evidence, overall the kernel density function models show that the dates fall into two more-or-less distinctive groupings centered at circa 2250 cal BC and at circa 1150 cal BC, matching previous age estimates of the two main components and also suggesting an intriguing circa 300-year gap between those two intensive occupations. The analyses suggest charcoal dates overestimate age when compared to dates from nutshell by about 120 years and that the consistency of dates from particular feature clusters often indicates they represent an “integrated series of events.”
安大略省戴维森遗址(AhHk-54)的古代晚期断代
戴维森遗址报告了大量的56个AMS日期,包括Broadpoint和Smallpoint晚古代史。重点是记录该遗址本身的占领历史。各种特征上的日期通常与叠加数据或与诊断的关联不匹配,并提供了一个案例研究,说明在这些地点上存在成分混合的巨大潜力,如果没有来自不同材料的多个日期,这种情况可能无法识别。尽管有这样的证据,总的来说,核密度函数模型显示,这些日期大致分为两个不同的组,以公元前2250年左右和公元前1150年左右为中心,与之前对两个主要组成部分的年龄估计相匹配,也表明这两个密集职业之间有一个有趣的大约300年的差距。分析表明,与果壳测年相比,木炭测年高估了大约120年的年龄,而且来自特定特征簇的日期的一致性通常表明它们代表了“一系列综合事件”。
