RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 Dating prehispanic and colonial sites on the island of Gran Canaria: a proposal for a radiocarbon hygiene protocol A1 Pardo-Gordó, Salvador A1 González Marrero, María del Cristo A1 Vidal Matutano, Paloma A1 Rodríguez Rodríguez, Amelia K1 Radiocarbon K1 Gran Canaria K1 Radiocarbon hygiene K1 prehispanic K1 Colonial AB Radiocarbon dating can give rise to problems associated with the nature of the dated sample, with the method used itself and with the stratigraphic reliability of the dated site. Consequently, the principal objective of this paper is to carry out a systematic exploration of each of these aspects. To this end, a critical review was conducted of the radiocarbon dates of materials from archaeological sites on the island of Gran Canaria. On the basis of this analysis, a system of categories of radiometric reliability was developed and, simultaneously, objective analytical criteria were used in an attempt to establish the reliability of radiometric dates obtained for archaeological sites in the Canary Islands and, in particular, the island of Gran Canaria.
