The ancient renovation activities of Yungang Grottoes: mutual verification of carbon-14 dating and archaeological investigation
Yungang Grottoes in Datong is one of the most famous stone cave temples in China. The caves have been renovated several times since they were first excavated by the royal family during the Northern Wei Dynasty (between AD 460 and AD 524), but few historical documents remain. On the basis of archaeological investigation, we collected some carbon-14 samples for testing by accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) and used historical documents to study the ancient renovation activities of Yungang Grottoes. We found that there were different forms and scales of renovation activities during the Northern Wei, Tang, Liao, Jin, Ming and Qing dynasties.
期刊介绍:
Archaeological and Anthropological Sciences covers the full spectrum of natural scientific methods with an emphasis on the archaeological contexts and the questions being studied. It bridges the gap between archaeologists and natural scientists providing a forum to encourage the continued integration of scientific methodologies in archaeological research.
Coverage in the journal includes: archaeology, geology/geophysical prospection, geoarchaeology, geochronology, palaeoanthropology, archaeozoology and archaeobotany, genetics and other biomolecules, material analysis and conservation science.
The journal is endorsed by the German Society of Natural Scientific Archaeology and Archaeometry (GNAA), the Hellenic Society for Archaeometry (HSC), the Association of Italian Archaeometrists (AIAr) and the Society of Archaeological Sciences (SAS).
