Kyrenia Ship Hull during excavation. Kyrenia Ship hull on the seabed off northern Cyprus during underwater excavation in the later 1960s. Updated radiocarbon calibration techniques provide improved ...

The development of a high precision record of atmospheric radiocarbon shifts beyond 14,000 calendar years BP - obtained through combined studies (e.g., dendrochronology, radiocarbon dating and ...

Radiocarbon dating is a key tool archaeologists use to determine the age of plants and objects made with organic material. But new research shows that commonly accepted radiocarbon dating standards ...

A new paper points out the need for an important new refinement to radiocarbon dating. The research has relevance for understanding key dates in Mediterranean history and prehistory, including the ...

Since its inception in the 1950s, radiocarbon dating has proven indispensable to archaeologists and climate scientists, who rely on the technique to accurately date organic compounds. But a good thing ...

Conventional radiocarbon ages relating to pottery and stone industries have often been used to compare cultural phases in separate prehistoric sites. This procedure gives reliable results in the case ...

Rachel Wood does not work for, consult, own shares in or receive funding from any company or organization that would benefit from this article, and has disclosed no relevant affiliations beyond their ...

I was careful to describe the NotCal04 calibration study 3 explicitly as a “best-estimation” curve (as the authors 3 also describe it). But, even if there were an accepted calibration curve for the ...

Radiocarbon dating was invented 70 years ago with a little help from the University of Arizona, and the scientific breakthrough just keeps improving with age. A worldwide working group of researchers, ...
