The 14C age of charcoal and wood from Lebanon and central Europe is compared partly with the dendrochronologically determined age of the samples and partly with the archaeologically expected value. While the dendrologic values approximately confirm the correction curve of Ralph, Michael, and Han (1973), charcoal of burned layers seemes to be generally 2 to 3 centuries older than expected from contemporary archaeologically retrieved materials.
