Abstract

The article presents the results of radiocarbon dating of the Pozdnyakovo culture. The database includes 22 correct dates for samples from four sites obtained with different carbonaceous materials. The paper outlines principles for determining the relative correctness of radiocarbon dates. The authors’ analysis of 14C data shows that even this series requires a critical approach for some objective reasons. As the number of dates is still limited, the radiocarbon range of the Pozdnyakovo culture is still unstable, but it has a pronounced tendency to stabilize. The summation of radiocarbon dates makes it possible to date the Pozdnyakovo sites tentatively within 1750–1250 CalBC.
