The MedAfriCarbon radiocarbon database and its accompanying web application are outcomes of the MedAfrica project — Archaeological deep history and dynamics of Mediterranean Africa, ca. 9600–700 BC. The dataset presented here in Version 1.0 of the database includes 1587 archaeological 14C dates from 368 sites in Mediterranean Africa. The database is unusual because the majority of the dates within it have been annotated with further cultural and environmental variables, notably the presence/absence of different domestic/wild species and particular material culture traits. MedAfriCarbon also includes an publicly-accessible web application that facilitates data exploration and informal analysis. Funding statement: The Leverhulme Trust provided the core funding for the Archaeological deep history and dynamics of Mediterranean Africa, ca. 9600–700 BC (MedAfrica) Research Project (RPG-2016-261). Additional financial support for the project came from the McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research, Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, and IPOCAN, MIUR project, via ISMEO (the International Association for Mediterranean and Oriental Studies). ISMEO financially covered the publication costs of this open-access paper.

MedAfriCarbon放射性碳数据库和Web应用程序。大约地中海非洲的考古动力学。公元前9600–700年

MedAfriCarbon放射性碳数据库及其随附的Web应用程序是MedAfrica项目的成果–地中海非洲的考古学深厚历史和动态。公元前9600–700年。数据库1.0版中显示的数据集包括来自地中海非洲368个站点的1587个考古14C日期。该数据库之所以与众不同，是因为该数据库中的大多数日期都带有进一步的文化和环境变量，特别是是否存在不同的家养/野生物种以及特定的物质文化特征。MedAfriCarbon还包括一个可公开访问的Web应用程序，可促进数据探索和非正式分析。资金说明：Leverhulme信托基金为地中海非洲的考古学深厚历史和动态提供了核心资金。9600–700 BC（MedAfrica）研究计划（RPG-2016-261）。该项目的其他财务支持来自意大利外交和国际合作部麦当劳考古研究所，以及通过ISMEO（国际地中海和东方研究协会）的IPOCAN，MIUR项目。ISMEO从经济上承担了这份开放获取论文的出版成本。
