位于意大利利古里亚海岸的莫奇岩礁，经常被用来作为关于奥里甘阶到达地中海欧洲的假设的参考点。然而，该网站鲜为人知。在这里，我们描述了新的实地观察的基础上的地层序列，并提出了15个放射性碳测定从旧石器时代中期（Mousterian晚期）和早期旧石器时代晚期（Aurignacian和Gravettian）的水平。大多数日期都是由人类改造的材料制成的，特别是海洋贝壳珠子，它是欧洲最古老的直接日期个人装饰品。放射性碳的结果被纳入贝叶斯统计模型，建立一个新的年代框架，这个关键的旧石器时代的网站。还尝试了地层与古气候记录的初步对比。皇冠版权所有（C）2011由爱思唯尔有限公司出版。保留所有权利。
The rockshelter of Mochi, on the Ligurian coast of Italy, is often used as a reference point in the formation of hypotheses concerning the arrival of the Aurigancian in Mediterranean Europe. Yet, the site is poorly known. Here, we describe the stratigraphic sequence based on new field observations and present 15 radiocarbon determinations from the Middle Palaeolithic (late Mousterian) and Early Upper Palaeolithic (Aurignacian and Gravettian) levels. The majority of dates were produced on humanly modified material, specifically marine shell beads, which comprise some of the oldest directly-dated personal ornaments in Europe. The radiocarbon results are incorporated into a Bayesian statistical model to build a new chronological framework for this key Palaeolithic site. A tentative correlation of the stratigraphy to palaeoclimatic records is also attempted. Crown Copyright (C) 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
