NERD (NEAR EAST RADIOCARBON DATES)

The archive <strong>NERD</strong> provides a collation of <strong>11,027</strong> radiocarbon dates from <strong>1023</strong> archaeological sites in the Near East from the Late Pleistocene until the Late Holocene (15 - 1.5 cal. kyr BP). These dates have been collected from existing online digital archives, and electronic and print original publications. This is an <strong>ongoing dataset</strong> that will be updated step by step with new published radiocarbon dates. A detailed description of the present dataset is available via the following data paper: <strong>Palmisano, A., Bevan, A., Lawrence, D., and Shennan, S., 2022. The NERD Dataset: Near East Radiocarbon Dates between 15,000 and 1,500 cal. yr. BP</strong>. <em>Journal of Open Archaeology Data</em>, <em>10</em>(2), 1-9. List of versions: <strong>4.0 </strong>8 December 2021 — 380 new dates added (update of the files 'References.txt', 'nerd.csv', and 'Readme.md'). <strong>3.0 </strong>7 April 2021 — 10 new dates added (update of the files 'References.txt', 'nerd.csv', and 'Readme.md'). <strong>2.0.</strong> 7 April 2021 — 31 new dates added (update of the files 'References.txt', 'nerd.csv', and 'Readme.md'). <strong>1.0 </strong> 6 April 2021 — First public release of the dataset on Zenodo**NERD数据集档案（NERD）**整合了来自近东地区1023处考古遗址的11027条放射性碳测年数据，时间跨度覆盖晚更新世至全新世晚期（距今15~1.5校准千年，cal. kyr BP）。上述测年数据均采集自已公开的在线数字档案、电子原版文献及印刷版原始出版物。本数据集为持续更新型数据集，将逐步纳入新发表的放射性碳测年数据并持续更新。有关本数据集的详细说明可参阅以下数据论文：Palmisano, A.、Bevan, A.、Lawrence, D. 及Shennan, S. 于2022年发表的《NERD数据集：距今15000至1500校准年的近东放射性碳测年数据》，刊载于《开放考古学数据期刊》（*Journal of Open Archaeology Data*）第10卷第2期，页码1-9。 版本更新详情如下： **4.0**（2021年12月8日）：新增380条测年数据，更新了'References.txt'、'nerd.csv'及'Readme.md'文件。 **3.0**（2021年4月7日）：新增10条测年数据，更新了'References.txt'、'nerd.csv'及'Readme.md'文件。 **2.0**（2021年4月7日）：新增31条测年数据，更新了'References.txt'、'nerd.csv'及'Readme.md'文件。 **1.0**（2021年4月6日）：本数据集首次在Zenodo平台公开发布。
