Neolithic/Copper Age radiocarbon dates from West Carpathian basin and East Alps

Radiocarbon dates used in this study were collected from original publications including grey literature.  The resulting database was cross-referenced with available radiocarbon databases to ensure the quality of data.  We used the latest revision (2019) of CalPal database by Bernhardt Weninger (B. Weninger et al. 2019), EuroEvol database (Manning et al.2016), C14.sk database (Barta et al. 2013) and RADON database (Martin Hinz et al. 2012). 

Database structure consist of ten columns, from  site name (Site), unique site code (Scode), site longitude and latitude (Lon and Lat) in degrees, country (Country),  laboratory code (Labcode), the conventional radiocarbon date (Date) in years before present, standard deviation (SD), dated material (Mat) and bibliographic reference (Cit).  Where possible, we referenced the radiocarbon database where the date is recorded, otherwise, the publication where the date is reported or referenced is cited. 

Many thanks to Bernhardt Weninger for kindly providing the latest version of CalPal database.
