The charcoal fragments found during the excavation of NEP soil profiles downstream of the course of the Eger River (on the northern outskirts of Nördlingen) were anthracologically examined and determined to the lowest possible taxonomic rank. Subsequently some of them were radiocarbon dated at the Curt-Engelhorn-Zentrum Archäometrie gGmbH (CEZA). The samples were pretreated with HCl, NaOH and HCl using the ABA method (Acid/Base/Acid). The ¹⁴C content was measured with a MICADAS AMS-System. Radiocarbon ages are given as uncalibrated measurements in "kiloyears before present".
