Radiocarbon Palaeolithic Database Europe,
European Late Pleistocene Isotopic stages 2 & 3: their ecology and cultural adaptations
INQUA-Commission on Palaeoecology and Human Evolution
At the Berlin INQUA Congress a working group, European Late Pleistocene Isotopic Stages 2 & 3: Humans, Their Ecology & Cultural Adaptations, was established. One of the objectives was building a database of the human occupation of Europe during this period. The database has been enlarged and now includes Lower, Middle and Upper Palaeolithic sites connecting them to their environmental conditions and the available chronometric dating.

The database can be consulted at following site: Radiocarbon Palaeolithic Database Europe v.7 at following URL address: http://geo.kuleuven.be/geography/projects/14c-palaeolithic/download/.
We have collected the available dates from the literature and from other more restricted databases such as http://carbon14.univ-lyon1.fr/banadora.html from the Lyon Laboratory or from the Cambridge Stage 3 Project (http://www.esc.cam.ac.uk/oistage3/Details/Homepage.html) and recently from a Siberian site (http://www.uiggm.nsc.ru/uiggm/geology/evol/lab924/orlova/carbone.htm). We try to incorporate newly published chronometric dates collected from all kind of available publications.
The database contains now more than 12000 data on sites (with their geographical coordinates), comprising 14C (more than 4300 items), AMS (more than 2300 items) , TL, OSL, ESR and Th/U (more than 1200 items) from the European (Lower, Middle and Upper) Palaeolithic. All 14C dates are conventional dates BP.
