National Record of the Historic Environment: the Scottish Radiocarbon index (published on Canmore)
The Scottish Radiocarbon index shows the location of archaeological sites in Scotland where radiocarbon dating has been undertaken. The spatial index includes a link to the relevant record on the Canmore database (https://canmore.org.uk/) listing all recorded radiocarbon determinations with hyperlinks leading to individual results.
The database excludes those results that cannot be linked to an identifiable site record in Canmore. It does not represent a complete record of all radiocarbon determinations undertaken across Scotland but is relatively complete up to 2005.

- Statement
- The Scottish Radiocarbon index is compiled from a range of sources. The original database owed much to a list prepared by Ian Ralston and was updated between 1996 and 2005 by Patrick Ashmore, Historic Scotland. The database was compiled through dates obtained by Historic Scotland and others published in the major journals and some monographs and from 1996 the lists of dates published in Discovery and Excavation in Scotland Publication of annual lists in Discovery and Excavation in Scotland ceased in 2006 and as a result the database has not been systematically updated since.
