A Bayesian approach for fitting and comparing demographic growth models of radiocarbon dates: A case study on the Jomon-Yayoi transition in Kyushu (Japan). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2021 Large sets of radiocarbon dates are increasingly used as proxies for inferring past population dynamics and the last few years, in particular, saw an increase in the development of new statistical techniques to overcome some of the key challenges imposed

Updated chronologies for North American small mammal fossil localities in the Neotoma Paleoecology Database [PDF]
Scientific DataCommunity paleoecology is a powerful approach for analyzing ecological communities during long-term climate shifts like the Pleistocene-Holocene transition, but it depends on accurate estimates of species co-occurrences. The Neotoma Paleoecology Database

DENDROCHRONOLOGY AND RADIOCARBON DATING [PDF]
Radiocarbon, 2021 ABSTRACTBoth dendrochronology and radiocarbon (14C) dating have their roots back in the early to mid-1900s. Although they were independently developed, they began to intertwine in the 1950s when the founder of dendrochronology, A. E. Douglass, provided dated wood samples for Willard Libby to test his emerging 14C methods.

Biases in radiocarbon dating of organic fractions in sediments from meromictic and seasonally hypoxic lakes [PDF]
Bulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 2019 We present here radiocarbon dating results from two boreal lakes in Finland, which are permanently (meromictic) or seasonally stratified and contain continuous sequences of annually laminated sediments that started to form in the early Holocene.
