K. Riedhammer, Möglichkeiten und Grenzen der absoluten Datierung des Südostbayrischen Mittelneolithikums. In: A. Boschetti-Maradi/A. de Capitani/S. Hochtuli/U. Niffeler (eds.), Form, Zeit und Raum. Grundlagen für eine Geschichte aus dem Boden (Basel 2012) 69–78.
For literature data we implemented a Bibtex functionality and a Zotero export.
Zotero Export is already available for all literature records, but only authors and year are written to appropriate fields. All other information end up in the title field (including the title).
For those data sets that already contain Bibtex information, the full quote is returned. In the near future we will supply Bibtex information for all references.
You can access the Zotero-Import at individial literature records as well as at the sample records.
Thomas K. Harper contributed 218 dates for Tripolje and Cucuteni. At the moment they can not be made public available, but this will take place soon.
