A Reminder to Kristian Kristiansen

Has Kristian Kristiansen at Gothenburg University Disproven My Calibration? · A Reminder to Kristian Kristiansen · Dates for Scandinavian Prehistory, Revisited, Most Recent Tables

Table by him:

2850-2350 BC SGC, Pitted Ware and TRB Disintegration, SGC = Proto-Germanic
2350-1750 BC Dagger period Integration = formation of Proto-Norse
1750-1500 BC Early Bronze Age Disintegration = west/east Germanic
1500-450 BC Nordic Bronze Age Integration = mature Norse/Gothic
450-150 BC Pre-roman Iron Age Disintegration = west/east Germanic
150 BC-1000 AD Roman and Viking Age Integration = traditional Norse

450 BC onwards, I have basically no comment (execpt that making a difference between 450 and 750 may be difficult due to the Hallstatt Plateau, but OK, he could have been using tree rings).

Prior to that BC years, I have a recalibration. My pmC value refers to the atmosphere back then, therefore to the original C-14 proportion in the sample:

2850 BC = between 1734 and 1711 BC

1734 B. Chr.

86.8913 pmC, so dated as 2884 B. Chr.

1711 B. Chr.

87.3468 pmC, so dated as 2811 B. Chr.

2350 BC = between 1655 and 1633 BC

1655 B. Chr.

91.4498 pmC, so dated as 2395 B. Chr.

1633 B. Chr.

93.3283 pmC, so dated as 2203 B. Chr.

1750 BC = between 1766 and 1743 BC

1566 B. Chr.

97.441 pmC, so dated as 1776 B. Chr.

1543 B. Chr.

97.813 pmC, so dated as 1723 B. Chr.

1500 BC = between 1431 and 1408 BC

1431 B. Chr.

99.0919 pmC, so dated as 1511 B. Chr.

1408 B. Chr.

99.1755 pmC, so dated as 1478 B. Chr.

For me, his paper is not necessarily a test on my theories (ignoring the linguistic side and sticking to my recalibration), but for him, my reply may give a hint on how the recalibration already alluded to functions generally. And knowing Scandinavians, I think he may have wanted to refrain from a reply before giving me this chance to clarify./HGL
