SAMPLE PREPARATION METHODS USED AT THE AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL UNIVERSITY RADIOCARBON FACILITY

R. E. Wood et al.

Summary: The Single Stage AMS radiocarbon facility at the Australian National University has been in operation for 14 years. This paper discusses the pretreatment methods used for the different types of samples and examines the effectiveness of quality assurance protocols in detecting altered materials. Most of the fossil samples tested by the facility come from tropical and arid environments, where diagenesis of organic samples and carbonates is often severe. A significant proportion of the submitted samples cannot be dated, emphasizing the importance of screening and quality assurance methods. After analyzing 250 measurements on bone collagen, revised quality assurance indicators for bone samples are proposed.

The transition from an Indigenous to a European influenced fire regime at Lake Werri Berri, south-east Australia

Mark Constantine IV et al.

Summary: The drivers of fire regimes before European occupation of Australia are debated, with some arguing for anthropogenic ignition dominance and others suggesting a climate or a combination of both factors. This study examines the 850-year history of fire regimes near Lake Werri Berri in southeast Australia. Macroscopic charcoal and FTIR spectroscopy were used to analyze the changes in fire regimes over time. The study finds little change during most of the 850-year period and no apparent change following the displacement of Indigenous peoples and the introduction of European agriculture and logging. However, since the mid-20th Century, there has been an increase in both burned area and fire severity, likely due to increased fuel load and connectivity resulting from extended periods of precipitation and intensified recreational land usage.

Inherited age of floating charcoal fragments in a sand-bed stream, Macdonald River, NSW, Australia: Implications for radiocarbon dating of sediments

Russell Blong et al.

Summary: Radiocarbon dating of charcoal from the Macdonald River in Australia revealed calibrated ages spanning over 1700 years. The varying ages can be attributed to factors such as the age of living biomass, charcoalisation conditions, and transportation and storage processes. These findings caution against relying solely on radiocarbon dating of charcoal to interpret sedimentary histories and suggest that deposit age may not be reliably determined by charcoal age.

ATMOSPHERIC RADIOCARBON FOR THE PERIOD 1950-2019

Quan Hua et al.

Summary: This paper presents a compilation of atmospheric radiocarbon for the period 1950-2019, including zonal, hemispheric, and global radiocarbon datasets, with smooth curves more suitable for dating applications, aiming to facilitate the use of atmospheric bomb C-14 in carbon cycle studies and meet the increasing demand for accurate dating of recent terrestrial samples.

Indigenous knowledge and the shackles of wilderness

Michael-Shawn Fletcher et al.

Summary: The current environmental crises on Earth are classified as the Anthropocene, originating from industrialization in mid-20th century Europe and linked to human activities. Despite the belief that protecting pristine wilderness is the solution to environmental crises, this concept overlooks the importance of Indigenous and local peoples in valuing and shaping biodiverse landscapes, leading to the demise of many systems.
