South American archaeological sites and dates

Abstract

This dataset contains 2762 radiocarbon dates from 1023 archaeological sites in lowland South America. In principle, only archaeological cultures related to the spread of polyculture agroforestry (tropical forest farming) and ceramics are represented. The dataset has been compiled and is continuously updated as part of the project ExPaND: Examining Pan-Neotropical funded by the European Commission H2020.
