Abstract

This paper presents the results of accelerator mass spectrometry radiocarbon (AMS 14C) dating performed on archaeological samples (human bone, wood charcoal, and other charred plant macro-remains) from six sites located in the Lesser Poland Upland (southern Poland). We report 41 14C age measurements performed on discoveries made during the contract excavations carried out during the S7 roadway construction from 2016–2022. The resulting ages fall into a long interval, which, in terms of the regional archaeological periodization, lasts from the Late Neolithic to the Late Antiquity/Early Medieval Period (ca. 4600 BC–600 AD), and in terms of the climatological periodization corresponds to the Atlantic, Subboreal, and Subatlantic.
