Calibration of a radiocarbon age
The calibration of a radiocarbon age to a calendar date is reviewed. It is shown that the commonly-used programs for calibration sometimes give results that are significantly in error.
متن کاملGLEE, a new computer program for glass electrode calibration.
A new computer program (GLEE, glass electrode evaluation) has been written for the calibration of a glass electrode by means of a strong acid-strong base titration. This program provides an estimate of the carbonate contamination of the base, the pseudo-Nernstian standard potential and slope of the electrode and, optionally, the concentration of the base and pK(W.) The program runs under the Wi...
متن کاملReservoir offset models for Radiocarbon calibration
The purpose of a reservoir offset is to enable the application of calibration data (μ(θ), e.g. Stuiver et al. 1998) developed for one reservoir (primary reservoir) to CRA’s from another (secondary reservoir). The usual approach has been to define the activity of the secondary reservoir as some form of constant offset (with error) from the primary reservoir (e.g. Stuiver and Braziunas 1993). In ...
متن کاملEmpirical calibrated radiocarbon sampler: a tool for incorporating radiocarbon-date and calibration error into Bayesian phylogenetic analyses of ancient DNA.
Studies of DNA from ancient samples provide a valuable opportunity to gain insight into past evolutionary and demographic processes. Bayesian phylogenetic methods can estimate evolutionary rates and timescales from ancient DNA sequences, with the ages of the samples acting as calibrations for the molecular clock. Sample ages are often estimated using radiocarbon dating, but the associated measu...
متن کاملa new radiocarbon chronology for the late neolithic to iron age in the qazvin plain, iran
archaeological excavations on the western part of the central iranian plateau, known as the qazvin plain provides invaluable information about the sedentary communities from early occupation to the later prehistoric era. despite the past archeological data, chronological studies mostly rely on the relative use of the bayesian modeling for stratigraphically-related radiocarbon dates. the current...
