摘要：

Dating the earliest Christian burials in Viking Age Orkney is complicated by marine reservoir effects which can make radiocarbon assays on bone from fish-eaters appear inappropriately old. This paper provides corrected dates for burials from two chapels which may pre-date the traditional conversion of Scandinavian Scotland and highlights unresolved aspects of calibrating samples of mixed terrestrial and marine origin.
