Dear Otto,
Maybe too south and too early for you, but I have identified Ribes wood
(only to genus level) in the western Pyrenees. One fragment has been 14C
dated. Here goes the data:
Name of the cave site: Antoliñako Koba
Location: Gautegiz-Arteaga (Bizkaia)
Level and associated archaeological material: Aurignacian
Radiocarbon date: 29.990 + 230 BP (GrA-23.898)
Publication (in press): Aguirre, M. & Zapata, L.: Datación de varios
fragmentos de madera carbonizada del yacimiento de Antoliñako Koba
(Gautegiz-Arteaga, Bizkaia). Isturitz (Sociedad de Estudios Vascos/Eusko
Ikaskuntza).
Best wishes,
Lydia
