Variable Late Holocene 14C Reservoir Ages in Lake Bosten, Northwestern China
Radiocarbon (14C) dating has been widely used in paleoclimate reconstruction. However, the reliability of the 14C age in lake sediments is sensitive to the 14C reservoir effect, especially for a lake in arid regions.

Hydropyrolysis: implications for radiocarbon pre-treatment and characterization of Black Carbon [PDF]
Charcoal is the result of natural and anthropogenic burning events, when biomass is exposed to elevated temperatures under conditions of restricted oxygen.

Loess-paleosol sequences (LPSs) are important terrestrial archives of paleoenvironmental and paleoclimatic information. One of the main obstacles for the investigation and interpretation of these archives is the uncertainty of their age-depth ...

Dating of late Pleistocene and Holocene fluvial sediments Using OSL, Uranium series and 14C methods in the Saqqez River [PDF]
Fluvial sediment dating surveys are one of the quaternary researches which can help to explicit many environmental issues. In the present study, samples taken to direct age determination belong to a depositional profile located in one of the tributaries ...

The Ertebølle culture is a late Mesolithic hunter-gatherer-fisher culture in southern Scandinavia, northern Germany and Poland. Archaeological finds as well as scientific analyses of humans and their artefacts indicate the great importance of aquatic ...

Selection and Treatment of Data for Radiocarbon Calibration: An Update to the International Calibration (IntCal) Criteria [PDF]
High-quality data from appropriate archives are needed for the continuing improvement of radiocarbon calibration curves. We discuss here the basic assumptions behind 14C dating that necessitate calibration and the relative strengths and weaknesses of ...

Second Intermediate Period date for the Thera (Santorini) eruption and historical implications
The historical relevance of the Thera (Santorini) volcanic eruption is unclear because of major dating uncertainty. Long placed ~1500 BCE and during the Egyptian New Kingdom (starts ~1565–1540 BCE) by archaeologists, 14C pointed to dates ≥50–100 years ...

Assessment of infinite-age bones from the upper Thames Valley, UK, as 14C background standards [PDF]
It is becoming increasingly clear that in order to generate accurate radiocarbon dates for bone collagen samples it is important to determine a sample-specific background correction to account for the greater complexity and higher number of steps in the ...

Marine reservoir corrections for Moreton Bay, Australia [PDF]
We present the first direct assessment of marine reservoir effects in the Moreton Bay region using radiocarbon dating of known-age, pre-AD 1950, shell samples from the east coast of Stradbroke Island and archaeological shell/charcoal pairs from Peel ...
