Textiles and Radiocarbon Dating

  • Irka Hajdas (a1), Carlo Cristi (a2), Georges Bonani (a1) and Mantana Maurer (a1)
Abstract

Natural textiles provide suitable material for radiocarbon dating. Short-lived organic matter is usually involved and, if 14C dating is applied to pieces that are stylistically well dated, a better understanding of 14C dating of this type of material can be gained. This study presents some examples of dating that support the stylistic dates. Repeated analyses illustrate the robustness of the standard treatment applied to the textiles.
