data("cuers")

Format

A data frame with 2 observations on the following 3 variables.

SampleName

name of the charcoal

Details

The last firing date of lime kiln of Cuers (Provence, France), Pas-Redon site (Vaschalde et al. (2014)), has been determined using walls baked clay (AM dating) and charcoals (14C dating). Here the dating is only based on the 2 radiocarbon datings (Poz-42876 and Ly-16086) only.
