De C-Chronologie Van De Nederland Se Pre- En Protohistorie IV: Bronstijd En Vroege Ijzertijd
J.N. Lanting, Johannes van der Plicht · 2026
After some introductory remarks in Chapter 1 , this paper deals in Chapter 2 first with the periodization of the Bronze Age and Early Iron Age in southern Germany & adjacent areas, and in southern Scandinavia, then with the synchronization of both systems and the absolute chronology based on dendrochronology. Finally the chronological systems in the Lüneburg area, eastern France, Britain and Brittany & Normandy are dated on basis of contacts with southern Germany and southern Scandinavia. In Chapter 3 the problems of regional Dutch chronology are dealt with. It is clear that existing proposals underestimate the real problems, and that transitions between Early, Middle and Late Bronze Age, resp. Early and Middle Iron Age can not be defined in the simple way it has been done up till now. We propose to use the southern German system. In Chapter 4 the radiocarbon dates for Bronze and Early Iron Age material in the Netherlands, and in adjacent parts of Germany and Belgium, when appropriate, are listed. These lists include large numbers of dates on cremated bone, showing the potential of the new method of dating structural carbonate in calcined bone. Finally, the radiocarbon dated urns of the Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age and some settlement finds are illustrated.
