Preparation and Dating of Mortar Samples-Mortar Dating Inter-Comparison Study (MODIS)
2017
Seven radiocarbon laboratories: Abo/Aarhus, CIRCE, CIRCe, ETHZ, Poznan, RICH, and
Milano-Bicocca performed separation of carbonaceous fractions suitable for 14C dating of four mortar samples
selected for the MOrtar Dating Inter-comparison Study (MODIS). In addition, optically stimulated luminescence
(OSL) analyses were completed by Milano-Bicocca and IRAMAT-CRP2A Bordeaux. Each laboratory performed
separation according to laboratory protocol. Results of this first intercomparison show that even though
consistent 14C ages were obtained by different laboratories, two mortars yielded ages different than expected from the
archaeological context.
