Summary
The dates in this dataset were gathered from 39 pre-existing datasets, verified, and cleaned according to a standardized sample selection criteria. Dates for the United States, Canada, and the Guedes and Bocinsky (2018) database are aggregated to county level. All dates are uncalibrated. Additional information about the database cleaning processes can be found in the affiliated publication by Bird et al. 2021 “p3k14c: A synthetic global database of archaeological radiocarbon dates” (under review).

Table Information: p3k14_scrubbed_fuzzed
| Column Name | Data Type | Type | Category | Coding Sheet | Ontology | Search |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| LabID | Unique lab identification for every radiocarbon date | |||||
| VARCHAR | Uncoded Value | uncategorized | none | none | true | |
| Age | Radiocarbon age | |||||
| BIGINT | Uncoded Value | uncategorized | none | none | true | |
| Error | One sigma standard error of the radiocarbon age | |||||
| BIGINT | Uncoded Value | uncategorized | none | none | true | |
| Reference | Full reference if available, but short (e.g. author and year) reference also accepted for the radiocarbon date information. Provided by dataset. No verification process, but extra whitespace removed. | |||||
| VARCHAR | Uncoded Value | uncategorized | none | none | true | |
| Source | The dataset that provided the date. | |||||
| VARCHAR | Uncoded Value | uncategorized | none | none | true | |
| Continent | Provided by dataset and verified later. Any dates without an affiliated continent (or one that could be determined according to a listed country) were deleted. | |||||
| VARCHAR | Uncoded Value | uncategorized | none | none | true | |
| Province | Administrative province or state within a country | |||||
| VARCHAR | Uncoded Value | uncategorized | none | none | true | |
| Country | The country listed or provided by a dataset affiliated with the date and verified later. If no country was provided by the dataset, the data were retained but lat/long were not verified except to ensure they were on the appropriate continent. | |||||
| VARCHAR | Uncoded Value | uncategorized | none | none | true | |
| SiteName | Site name, usually unique to each site within each country. Common in non-North American sites | |||||
| VARCHAR | Uncoded Value | uncategorized | none | none | true | |
| SiteID | Site identification number. Very useful for US and Canadian sites, otherwise uncommon. | |||||
| VARCHAR | Uncoded Value | uncategorized | none | none | true | |
| Period | Archaeological time period. Did not clean or organize. Common in European datasets, generally hit-or-miss elsewhere. | |||||
| VARCHAR | Uncoded Value | uncategorized | none | none | true | |
| LocAccuracy | ariable created according to each dataset’s described accuracy and verified later. Necessary to prioritize radiocarbon ages that came from more reliable sources (e.g. directly from collector) 0: no specific locational information: only country provided 1: Province/State (not-US) or county (US) locational information. Note that the accuracy varies according to how large the country, province, and counties are. 2: Very close locational information (within 500m) , including locations digitized from forms and found during internet search 3: Exact location of site provided. Source collected location personally. | |||||
| BIGINT | Uncoded Value | uncategorized | none | none | true | |
| Lat | Latitude, preferably in decimal degrees, but degrees, minutes, and seconds also accepted. Any other format was excluded. | |||||
| DOUBLE | Uncoded Value | uncategorized | none | none | true | |
| Long | Longitude, preferably in decimal degrees, but degrees, minutes, and seconds also accepted. Any other format was excluded. | |||||
| DOUBLE | Uncoded Value | uncategorized | none | none | true | |
| Method | Refers to method of radiocarbon dating used, such as AMS or radiometric. Taken straight from the dataset with no cleaning or verification process. | |||||
| VARCHAR | Uncoded Value | uncategorized | none | none | true | |
| d13C | δ13C value taken straight from the dataset with no cleaning or verification process. Note that there may be many inaccurate “0” values taken from the original dataset, since several datasets used “0” instead of NA or a blank cell. | |||||
| VARCHAR | Uncoded Value | uncategorized | none | none | true | |
| Taxa | Taken straight from the dataset if they had a separate column. Again, no cleaning or verification process. | |||||
| VARCHAR | Uncoded Value | uncategorized | none | none | true | |
| Material | Taken straight from the dataset, no consolidation of materials. | |||||
| VARCHAR | Uncoded Value | uncategorized | none | none | true | |
