U-series dating of calcilte crusts reveals Neandertal origin of cave paintings
A newly discovered cranium from Aroeira, Portugal, dated by U-Th to be 400,000 years old
U-Th dating constrains age of footprints, found at an altitude of 4000 m in the Tibet High Plateau
We recently published our exciting results on cave art dating in Science...
Stalagmites and flowstones are used to reconstruct past climatic and environmental conditions.
A Neptune MC-ICPMS is used to obtain precise and accurate U-Th ages for carbonates such as speleothems
StalAge is an algorithm designed to construct distance-age models for U-series dated speleothems. It is written for the free statistical software R and freely available. Here you can download the latest version of the Stalage files and find more information...
