Description
Summary:International audience Several Carbon datings concerning different parts of the mammoth’s skeleton in the Museum of Prehistoric Anthropology of Monaco had permitted to obtain an approximate age of 30.000 yrs BP. This dating seems relatively coherent despite the post-depositional problems of the skeleton and the museographic chemical treatments of the bones. Plusieurs datations 14C effectuées sur différentes parties du mammouth déposé au Musée d’Anthropologie préhistorique de Monaco ont permis d’obtenir un âge approximatif de 30 000 ans BP, relativement cohérent en regard des problèmes post-dépositionnels du squelette et des traitements chimiques subis aux fins muséographiques.
