摘要: Few events of European prehistory are more important than the transition from ancient to modern humans around 40 000 years ago, a period that unfortunately lies near limit radiocarbon dating. This paper shows as many 70 per cent oldest dates in literature may be too young, due contamination by carbon. Future can made secure � and previous revised using refined methods pre-treatment described here.
