Data on the ¹⁴C date obtained from the charcoal figure "Black fox" in Shulgan-Tash (Kapova) cave, Southern Ural, Russia.

ABSTRACT: Shulgan-Tash (Kapova) cave in southern Ural, Russia, is the easternmost European site hosting Late Paleolithic cave art. Most of the 195+ drawings catalogued in the cave are made with red natural pigment (ochre), and only a handful of drawings are made with charcoal, see "Catalogue of images" [4], "Höhlenmalerei im Ural: Kapova und Ignatievka; die altsteinzeitlichen Bilderhöhlen im sudlichen Ural," [5]. "Constraining the ages of the Late Palaeolithic cave paintings in the Shulgan-Tash cave, Southern Urals, Russia" [6]. None of the charcoal drawings were directly dated by ¹⁴C method so far. Black lines delineating a figure similar to the outline of a fox are known in the cave. Here we present data on the ¹⁴C AMS date of charcoal with which the lines were drawn. Calibra
