carbónicas

Carbónicas refers to a collection of Spanish carbon-dated archaeological sites and artifacts. This term is often used in Spanish archaeological literature to describe materials or sites that have undergone radiocarbon dating, a scientific method used to determine the age of organic materials. The process involves measuring the decay rate of carbon-14, a radioactive isotope of carbon, within a sample. By comparing the remaining carbon-14 to the original amount, archaeologists can estimate when the organism from which the sample was derived died. Carbónicas, therefore, represents a crucial dataset for establishing chronological frameworks for prehistoric and historical periods in Spain. These dated materials can include wood, charcoal, bone, seeds, and textiles found at archaeological excavations. The accurate dating provided by carbónicas allows for a more precise understanding of cultural sequences, migration patterns, and the timing of significant events in Spanish history. It also facilitates cross-cultural comparisons by providing absolute dates that can be correlated with findings from other regions. The reliability of carbónicas is essential for building robust interpretations of past human activities and societal development.
