AMS dates from the crusts on the vessels. The AMS dates from crusts of the studied vessels show that all of the vessels dated to the expected periods, with the exception of one of the Risvik vessels (SÄR73), which was younger than expected, dating to 400–540 cal AD (with a 95.4% probability). Because of this exceptional date, the sample was re-dated as a duplicate, but the result did not change considerably (260–280 cal AD (1.9%), 320–440 cal AD (87.8%), and 490–530 cal AD (5.7%)). All dates are from this study except for Hela-3510. The calibration used the OxCal v3.10 program46,47 and the IntCal13 calibration data48. * = Two different datings for vessel SÄR73. Rectangles indicate typical dating range for each ceramic type.
