Towards new demography proxies and regional chronologies: Radiocarbon dates from archaeological contexts located in the Czech Republic covering the period between 10,000 BC and AD 1250 (dataset)

The dataset was created within the project “<em>Land use, social transformations and woodland in Central European Prehistory. Modelling approaches to human-environment interactions</em>” funded by the Czech Science Foundation (19-20970Y). This dataset represents the largest and the most comprehensive collection of archaeological radiocarbon dates from the Czech Republic to date. The dataset offers 1579 samples from 347 archaeological sites dating from Early Mesolithic (10 000 BC) to Medieval Period (AD 1250). Published in a simple spreadsheet format, the database offers researchers a quick tool for further analyses. It is important to highlight that dates we collected originated only from archaeological contexts, which means that we have excluded some radiocarbon dates produced through palaeoecological research without a direct relationship to past human activities, such as pollen records or samples from fossilized trees in river beds. The dataset is intended to be used for demographic modelling of population numbers during periods without written records, i.e. prehistory.本数据集源自捷克科学基金会（Czech Science Foundation）资助的项目《中欧史前史的土地利用、社会转型与林地：人类-环境互动的建模路径》（项目编号：19-20970Y）。该数据集是迄今为止捷克境内规模最大、内容最全面的考古放射性碳定年数据集，共收录来自347处考古遗址的1579份样本，年代跨度从中石器时代早期（公元前10000年）直至中世纪（公元1250年）。本数据集以简易电子表格格式发布，可为研究人员提供便捷的后续分析工具。需要特别强调的是，本次收集的定年数据仅源自考古背景，我们已排除所有与古人类活动无直接关联的古生态研究产生的放射性碳定年结果，例如花粉记录或河床化石树木样本。本数据集旨在用于无文字记载时期（即史前时期）的人口数量统计建模。
