Quality-controlled carbon-14 dates of European bison (Bison bonasus) fossils

A dataset of radiocarbon-dated European bison fossils assembled from the literature and from previously unpublished data. All fossils have been evaluated for the quality and reliability of the date, and only retained if rated "Reliable" by Barnosky & Lindsey criteria. We then calibrated the carbon-14 dates using the IntCal13 curve in OxCal. The fossil data CSV is semicolon-delimited. The "metadata" document describes the attributes in the dataset, and the "Data Sources" document is a bibliography of published sources where the data came from.
