Chronology of the settlement areas at hunter-gather Stone Age site Dudka, Masuria, NE-Poland

Data set includes results of AMS radiocarbon measurements - 14C Age (yrBP) along with calibrated age (cal. BC) as well as isotope measurements (15N, 13C) in case of unburned bone samples (collagen). Table include the information about the sampled material and the archaeological data connected with the samples. All results of radiocarbon measurements were obtained in 2024 year thanks to the NCN grant project: Absolute chronology of burials and loose human bones from the hunter-gatherer Stone Age sites Dudka and Szczepanki in Masuria (NE-Poland), Grant no. 2020/39/B/HS3/02375.12 bones were selected for radiocarbon dating and stable isotope measurement. Three heavily cremated human bones coming from different layers, one human unburned bone and 8 animal bones and teeth from each layer with archeological finds to establish the chronology of the settlement. The set of animal remains include one dog tooth. Finaly, 4 samples failed due to too low collagen content and 8 samples were measured. One measured sample - of individual XIII-B, shows slightly increased C:N value and shall be interpreted with caution.Bone and tooth samples were measured mostly in Tandem Laboratory of Uppsala University in Sweden. Eight samples were sent to the laboratory and finally 5 of them could be measured. Three samples were analysed in the Aarhus AMS Centre of Aarhus University in Denmark. Both laboratories made AMS measurements along with precise stable isotope (13C, 15N) measurements EA-IRMS. Additionally, one bone sample was measured in the Vilnius Radiocarbon Laboratory in Lithuania.More detailed information about the methods used by laboratories are included in the instruction to the table (readme.txt).Bones used for sampling were osteologically elaborated by Karolina Bugajska.

本数据集包含加速器质谱（AMS）放射性碳测量结果——14C年龄（yrBP）、校准年龄（cal. BC），以及未燃烧骨骼样本（胶原蛋白）的同位素测量数据（15N、13C）。表格涵盖样本材料信息及与样本相关的考古数据。所有放射性碳测量结果均于2024年通过波兰国家科学中心（NCN）资助项目获得，项目名称为“波兰东北部马祖里亚地区狩猎采集者石器时代遗址Dudka与Szczepanki的墓葬及零散人骨绝对年表研究”，资助编号2020/39/B/HS3/02375。

研究选取12件骨骼样本开展放射性碳定年与稳定同位素测量，包括3件来自不同层位的严重焚烧人骨、1件未燃烧人骨，以及8件取自各考古发现层位的动物骨骼与牙齿（用于构建聚落年表）；动物遗骸样本中包含1颗狗牙。最终，4个样本因胶原蛋白含量过低未能成功测量，8个样本完成检测。其中，个体XIII-B的样本C:N值略高，解读时需谨慎。

骨骼与牙齿样本主要在瑞典乌普萨拉大学串联实验室完成测量：共送检8个样本，最终5个成功获取数据；另有3个样本在丹麦奥胡斯大学AMS中心开展分析。上述两家实验室均进行了AMS测量及高精度稳定同位素（13C、15N）元素分析-同位素比率质谱（EA-IRMS）测量。此外，1个骨骼样本在立陶宛维尔纽斯放射性碳实验室完成检测。各实验室所用方法的详细信息见表格说明文件（readme.txt）。用于采样的骨骼样本由Karolina Bugajska完成骨骼学分析。
