Radiocarbon (14C) dating was applied to the Neolithic open-air, flat-extended settlement at Revenia-Korinos in Pieria, North Greece. The samples came from the earlier habitation period of the settlement, characterized by more than 100 pits that vary significantly in shape and dimensions, some of them being identified as subterranean or semi-subterranean pit dwellings. It is suggested that the fills of the pits were the result of secondary, structured refuse deposition, except for pits that preserve their habitational use, according to stratigraphic data. The 14C results confirm that Revenia is among the earliest Neolithic settlements in North Greece and the Aegean in general. The initial phase of habitation is dated at around 6600/6550 BC comparable only to two other EN sites in North Greece. Habitation intensified at around 6460/6430 BC, accompanied by a shift in pottery style. This phase lasts until 6200/6100 BC when the pit habitation mode is followed by above-ground, rectangular post-framed structures. The dates of the human burials from Revenia also identify them as among the earliest Neolithic burials in Greece. Finally, the radiocarbon dates proved very useful for sequencing the chronological use of the pits and the excavated area in general.

REVENIA-KORINOS：放射性碳测年证明，北希腊最早的新石器时代定居点之一

放射性碳 (14C) 测年适用于希腊北部 Pieria 的 Revenia-Korinos 的新石器时代露天平坦扩展定居点。样本来自该定居点的早期居住期，其特征是 100 多个形状和尺寸差异很大的坑，其中一些被确定为地下或半地下坑式住宅。根据地层数据，除了保留其居住用途的坑外，这表明坑的填充是二次结构化垃圾沉积的结果。这14C 结果证实，Revenia 是希腊北部和爱琴海地区最早的新石器时代定居点之一。居住的初始阶段可追溯到公元前 6600/6550 年左右，仅可与希腊北部的其他两个 EN 遗址相媲美。居住在公元前 6460/6430 年左右得到加强，伴随着陶器风格的转变。这一阶段一直持续到公元前 6200/6100 年，当时坑居住模式之后是地上的矩形后框架结构。Revenia 人类墓葬的日期也将它们确定为希腊最早的新石器时代墓葬之一。最后，放射性碳日期证明对于按时间顺序排列矿坑和一般挖掘区域的使用非常有用。
