There are two new climate data sets included in CalPal, first, the Ammersee stable oxygen isotope record (5000-15500 calBP measured on ostracods by von Grafenstein et al. (1999), as available from the NOAA/IGBP PAGES, and second, the Tree-Ring Homegeneity Growth Indices denAD 1985-6067 denBC (annual resolution) based on regional tree-ring chronologies from Germany, with numeric data by courtesy of Burkhard Schmidt and Wolfgang Gruhle (Köln). The download version of CalPal now contains the Near East Early Neolithic 14C-Data-Base (Levante, Anatolia, Iraq, Iran; including geographic coordinates) with 14C-ages ranging from the Natufian to the end of the Late Pre-Pottery Neolithic (PPNA-PPNC). This database (N=2300 entries) is incorporated in CalPal by courtesy of Utz Böhner. It builds up on archaeological radiocarbon data first collected by Gary Rollefson (N=800, Levante) and Laurens Thissen (N=450, Anatolia). We would also like to draw your attention to the homesite of this new 14C-database: http://www.context-database.de/ This database may be of use for attendants of the "4th International Congress on the Archaeology of the Ancient Near East", to be held in Berlin (March 29-April 3, 2004): http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/paleo/meetings/icaane2004_workshop.html We have also updated the graphic and bibliographic libraries (HELP). To support research in Glacial 14C-calibration, we have added a HELP entitled "13 Reasons to calibrate Glacial 14C-Ages using the GISP2 Age-model"( http://www.calpal.de/calpal/manual/index.htm ).
