The Human Face of Radiocarbon. Reassessing chronology in prehistoric Greece and Bulgaria, 5000-3000 cal BC (TMO 69)
This volume presents the results of a multidisciplinary research program (“Balkans 4000”) financed by the French National Research Agency (ANR) and coordinated by the editor between 2007 and 2011, when she was a member of the Maison de l’Orient et de la Méditerranée (Laboratory of Archaeometry and Archaeology). 192 new radiocarbon dates have been produced in the laboratories of Lyon, Saclay, and Demokritos, from thirty-four archaeological sites, spanning the years from the end of the 6th to the beginning of the 3rd millennium BC. They shed light on the evolution of human settlement during the late stages of the Neolithic period in Greece and Bulgaria, and more specifically on the transition from the Neolithic to the Early Bronze Age during the “obscure” 4th millennium BC.
Thirty-one scholars, archaeologists as well as radiocarbon scientists, are signing the contributions.

Les 192 nouvelles datations 14C, produites dans les laboratoires de Lyon, Saclay et Athènes (Demokritos) à partir d’échantillons venant de 34 sites en Grèce et en Bulgarie, couvrent la période s’étendant de la fin du 6e au début du 3e millénaire av. J.-C. Ces datations éclairent l’évolution du peuplement durant les dernières phases du Néolithique, et plus particulièrement la transition vers l’âge du Bronze durant « l’obscur » 4e millénaire.
Trente-et-un chercheurs, archéologues et spécialistes des datations 14C, signent les contributions rassemblées dans ce volume.
