According to Vogel et al ( 1993), the radiocarbon date for the course of the 39th century BC on an abnormality in the beginning of the century has lower values than its end ( negative correlation). The maximum of the calibration curve at 3820 BC with 5080 radiocarbon years BP reached (see above shows 3900 BC only 5030 radiocarbon years BP and 3800 BC 5050 radiocarbon years BP, radiocarbon age thus be secondary to the normal chronology by 870 or 750 years back ).

A recent Korrelatonsprogramm such as CalPal find plateaus in the calibration curve before ( 3956-3905 BC) and again towards the end of the century ( 3836-3792 BC). Between 3881 and 3870 BC has the steepest curve increase. In general, the 39th century moved BC 5104-5012 radiocarbon years BP.
