Description

The folder “Cerro de San Vicente paleomagnetic data.zip” contains paleomagnetic thermal and alternating field demagnetisation data obtained from the central fireplace and the burnt surrounding area of the floor of house 1, in the Cerro de San Vicente archaeological site (Salamanca, Spain). Measurements were performed in the paleomagnetic laboratory of the University of Burgos (Spain). Data are in .txt format with the extension .rs3. Data can be visualised and analysed with the Remasoft software (Chadima and Hrouda, 2006).

The folder “Cerro de San Vicente rock magnetism data.zip” contains data in .txt format of IRM acquisition curves (extension .irm), hysteresis curves (extension .hys), backfield curves (extension .coe) and thermomagnetic magnetisation versus temperature curves (extension .rmp) obtained on samples from the central fireplace, the burnt surrounding area of the floor and slags from Cerro de San Vicente archaeological site (Salamanca, Spain). Measurements were performed in the paleomagnetic laboratory of the University of Burgos (Spain). Columns are separated by tabs. Data can be visualized and analysed with the RockMagAnalyzer 1.0 software (Leonhardt, 2006).

The folder “Cerro de San Vicente paleointensity.zip” contains paleointensity determination data obtained with the Thellier-Coe and Thellier-IZZI method on samples from the central fireplace and slags from Cerro de San Vicente archaeological site (Salamanca, Spain). Measurements were performed in the paleomagnetic laboratory of the University of Burgos (Spain) and in the Utrecht paleomagnetic laboratory (The Netherdlands). Data are in .txt format with the extension .tdt separated by tabs. Data can be visualised and analysed with the ThellierTool software (Leonhardt et al.,2004).

The folder “Cerro de San Vicente Multispecimen.zip” contains paleointensity determination data on the central fireplace from Cerro de San Vicente archaeological site (Salamanca, Spain). Data are in .xlsm. Determinations were carried out with the multispecimen method (Biggin and Poidras, 2006; Dekkers and Böhnel, 2006; Fabian and Leonhardt, 2010) at Laboratorio Interinstitucional de Magnetismo Natural, Instituto de Geofísica, Unidad Michoacán, UNAM, Mexico. Data can be visualised and analysed with the VBA based software tool “MSP-Tool” (Monster et al.,2015).
