6 HOČEVARICA: ABSOLUTE DATING

6.5 Interpretation of the results of absolute dating at Hočevarica and of the horizon of pottery with furrowed incisions (HKBV) in Slovenia

Abstract

On the basis of radiocarbon dates and dendrochronological research, the end of building activity at Hočevarica is set approximately in the first quarter of the 36th century (HOC-QUSP1 oak chronology) and the mid 36th century B.C. (HOC-FRSP1 ash chronology). The dendrochronologically confirmed proximate concurrence of Hočevarica with the pile dwelling settlement of Palu di Livenza in northern Italy is also extended, as well as the 14C based absolute time span proposed for the HKBV horizon in central Slovenia, which falls approximately in the second quarter of the 4th millennium B.C.

Ajdovska jama (Aj) – radiocarbon dates for the latest prehistoric cultural horizon: L-corridor, central hall, SE 42 and SE 5 (after Horvat 1989, 28; Culiberg, Horvat, Šercelj 1992, 112, fig. 2 and 3); Keutschacher See (Hj) – latest radiocarbon date, which is attributed to the Neolithic settlement (after Offenberger 1982, 136).
