ABSOLUTE CHRONOLOGY AT THE WATERLOGGED SITE OF LA DRAGA (LAKE BANYOLES, NE IBERIA): BAYESIAN CHRONOLOGICAL MODELS INTEGRATING TREE-RING MEASUREMENT, RADIOCARBON DATES AND MICRO-STRATIGRAPHICAL DATA

ABSTRACT Sixty-two 14 C dates are analyzed in combination with a recently established local floating tree-ring sequence for the Early Neolithic site of La Draga (Banyoles, northeast Iberian Peninsula). Archaeological data, radiometric and dendrochronological dates, as well sedimentary micro-stratigraphical information used to build Bayesian chronological model, using ChronoModel 2.0 OxCal 4.4 computer programs, IntCal 2020 calibration curve. The is analyzed, partially fixed calendrical scale wiggle-matching approach. Depositional events general stratigraphic expressed expanded Harris Matrix diagrams ordered temporal Allen Algebra. Post-depositional processes affecting related both phreatic water level contemporaneous lakeshore. most probable model suggests two main occupations, that can be divided into no less than three different “phases,” including construction, use repair foundational wooden platforms, evidence later constructions after reorganization ground surface travertine slabs. discussed considering modern debate on Climatic oscillations during period 8000–4800 cal BC, origins western Mediterranean region.
