Abstract
Precision14C analyses have been performed on samples comprising 1 to 4 annual rings from the south-central European dendrochronologic sequence of sub-fossil oak wood covering the period 1930 to 3100 bc. Apart from a major deviation in the 29th century bc, the14C fluctuations have amplitudes of ca 10‰ and a possible periodicity of 90 years. A14C peak at 2190 bc has a rise- and decay-time of <20 years indicating rather abrupt changes in the production rate of14C. The14C calibration curve derived from these data can be used for precise dating of the Early Bronze Age in the Near East.
