The Minoan Thera eruption predates Pharaoh Ahmose: Radiocarbon dating of Egyptian 17th to early 18th Dynasty museum objects. [PDF]
PLoS ONEThe huge volcanic eruption at Thera (Santorini), situated in the Aegean Sea, occurred within the Late Minoan IA archaeological period. However, its temporal association with Egyptian history has long been a controversial subject.

Nature Reviews Methods Primers, 2021 Radiocarbon dating uses the decay of a radioactive isotope of carbon (14C) to measure time and date objects containing carbon-bearing material. With a half-life of 5,700 ± 30 years, detection of 14C is a useful tool for determining the age of a specimen formed over the past 55,000 years.

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.

Errors in the radiocarbon dating of deposits in Finland from the time of deglaciation [PDF]
Bulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 1974 Some radiocarbon dates of sediments from the area of the Salpausselkä moraines, and north of them in the area deglaciated after c. 10200 B.P., are too old and at variance with a number of radiocarbon dates for the regional pollen assemblage zones ...
