Abstract. This study uses an integrated multi-method
geoarcheological and geochronological approach to contribute to the
understanding of the timing and stratigraphy of the monumental burial mound royal tomb (Konigsgrab) of Seddin. We show that the hitherto
established radiocarbon-based terminus post quem time frame for the
construction of the burial mound of 910–800 BCE is supported by optically
stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating. The radiocarbon samples were obtained
from a substrate…
