Uranium series dating in paleoanthropology
Abstract
Abstract Many hominid and archaeological sites contain materials that were formed or deposited synchronously with the site and can be dated by uranium‐series methods, principally 230 Th/ 234 U dating. The range of the method is approximately 350,000 years. U‐series dating yields most accurate results when applied to chemically precipitated calcium carbonate, which occurs in stalagmitic layers, travertines, and lacustrine limestones. Materials …
