A new, internationally agreed radiocarbon calibration curve method will allow key past events to be dated more accurately.
The work led by Professors Paul Blackwell and Caitlin Buck from the
University of Sheffield's School of Mathematics and Statistics and
Professor Paula Reimer from Queen's University Belfast will lead to
improved accuracy for archaeologists, environmental scientists and
climate researchers who rely on radiocarbon dating to put their findings
onto a reliable time-scale.
The release of the new curve will mean that more precise date
estimates can be obtained than previously possible and will reduce
uncertainty about the timing of major events in the history and
development of humans, plants and animals and the environments in which
they lived. [...] science20.com
The research paper is published in the current issue of the journal Radiocarbon.
