First archaeointensity reference paleosecular variation curve for South America and its implications for geomagnetism and archaeology
Open accessAbstract
Absolute dating by means of archaeomagnetism and thermoluminescence offer important chronological contributions because burned objects are dated directly. This is not true for the most common absolute dating method used in archaeology today, radiocarbon dating. In this survey we have determined the absolute geomagnetic archaeointensity recorded in ceramic fragments from the northwestern Andes (Colombia) which had previously been dated using thermoluminescence. The samples studied consist of a ceramic pot fragment associated with a domestic context and a truncated-cone shaped spindle whorl fragment with thin incised decoration and filled with white paste found at the Piedras Blancas archaeological site (Medellin, Colombia). The age ranges obtained by the archaeomagnetic method are relatively high due to the insufficient precision of the secular variation reference curve for the age interval considered, while thermoluminescence provides better defined and more accurate absolute ages.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
