To better define the timing of the OCC, we evaluated 53 (eight new and 45 published) radiocarbon (14C) dates associated with copper artifacts and mines. We compared these dates to six lake sediment-based chronologies of copper mining and annealing in the Michigan Copper District. 14C dates grouped by archaeological context show that cremation remains, and wood and cordage embedded in copper artifacts have ages that overlap with the timing of high lead (Pb) concentrations in lake sediment. In contrast, dates in stratigraphic association and from mines are younger than those from embedded and cremation materials, suggesting that the former groups reflect the timing of processes that occurred post-abandonment. The comparatively young dates obtained from copper mines therefore likely reflect abandonment and infill of the mines rather than active use. Excluding three anomalously young samples, the ages of embedded organic material associated with 15 OCC copper artifacts range from 8500 to 3580 cal BP, confirming that the OCC is among the oldest known metalworking societies in the world. #--------------------------------------- # Funding_Agency # Funding_Agency_Name: National Science Foundation # Grant: EAR-IF 0948366 #--------------------------------------- # Funding_Agency # Funding_Agency_Name: Geological Society of America # Grant: Graduate Student Research Award #--------------------------------------- # Site_Information # Site_Name: Lake Manganese # Location: North America>United States Of America>Michigan # Northernmost_Latitude: 47.454 # Southernmost_Latitude: 47.454 # Easternmost_Longitude: -87.883 # Westernmost_Longitude: -87.883 # Elevation: 234 #--------------------------------------- # Data_Collection # Collection_Name: Manganese2021metals # First_Year: 10320 # Last_Year: -59 # Time_Unit: cal yr BP # Core_Length: 3.00 # Notes: #--------------------------------------- # Chronology_Information # Chronology: # # ID C14_age cal_BP error depth thickness # Pb-210 -60 1 0 # Pb-210 -59 1 0.75 0.5 # Pb-210 -53 1 2.75 0.5 # Pb-210 -47 1 4.75 0.5 # Pb-210 -40 2 6.75 0.5 # Pb-210 -31 2 8.75 0.5 # Pb-210 -19 2 10.75 0.5 # Pb-210 0 3 12.75 0.5 # Pb-210 30 2 14.75 0.5 # Pb-210 47 1 16.75 0.5 # Manganese A10D1 62 needle .035mgC 2500 40 112 1 # Manganese A10D2 81 wood 6110 20 212 1 # Manganese A10D3 89 char. .027mgC 9170 150 301 1 # #--------------------------------------- # Variables # Data variables follow that are preceded by "##" in columns one and two. # Variables list, one per line, shortname-tab-longname components (9 components: what, material, error, units, seasonality, archive, detail, method, C or N for Character or Numeric data) # ## depth depth,,,centimeter,,paleolimnology,,,N,average depth of sample ## age age,,,calendar year before present,,paleolimnology,,,N, radiometric age in calendar years before 1950AD; best age estimate in CLAM ## Pb lead,sediment,,parts per million,,paleolimnology,,,N,10% HNO3 extraction ## Ti titanium,sediment,,parts per million,,paleolimnology,,,N,10% HNO3 extraction ## Mg magnesium,sediment,,parts per million,,paleolimnology,,,N,10% HNO3 extraction ## Fe iron,sediment,,parts per million,,paleolimnology,,,N,10% HNO3 extraction ## OM organic matter,sediment,,percent,,paleolimnology,,loss on ignition,N,Loss-on-ignition at 550C # #------------------------ # Data: # Data lines follow (have no #) # Data line format -
