Selection and treatment of data for radiocarbon calibration: an update to the international calibration (intcal) criteria

Abstract: High-quality data from appropriate archives are needed for the continuing improvement of radiocarbon cali- bration curves. We discuss here the basic assumptions behind 14C dating that necessitate calibration and the relative strengths and weaknesses of archives from which calibration data are obtained. We also highlight the procedures, problems, and uncer- tainties involved in determining atmospheric and surface ocean 14C/12C in these archives, including a discussion of the vari- ous methods used to derive an independent absolute timescale and uncertainty. The types of data required for the current IntCal database and calibration curve model are tabulated with examples.

Late Glacial 14C Ages from a Floating, 1382-Ring Pine Chronology

TL;DR: In this paper, a floating, 1382-ring pine chronology covering the radiocarbon age interval of 12,000 to 10,650 BP was built based on the strong rise of ∆14C at the onset of the Younger Dryas (YD) and wiggle-matching of the decadal scale ∆ 14C fluc- tuations.
