A numerical approach to 14C wiggle-match dating of organic deposits: best fits and confidence intervals [PDF]
Quaternary Science Reviews, 2003 C-14 wiggle-match dating (WMD) of peat deposits uses the non-linear relationship between C-14 age and calendar age to match the shape of a sequence of closely spaced peat C-14 dates with the C-14 calibration curve. A numerical approach to WMD enables the quantitative assessment of various possible wiggle-match solutions and of calendar year confidence ...

Woody legacies of railroad ties from the Southern Atacama Desert used to strengthen Nothofagus obliqua tree-ring chronologies from Northern Patagonia [PDF]
Scientific ReportsDuring the late Nineteenth and Twentieth centuries there was an intense exploitation of the long-lived Nothofagus obliqua forests in the temperate region of South America due to the quality of their hardwood.

Wiggle-Matching Using Known-Age Pine from Jermyn Street, London [PDF]
Radiocarbon, 2009 A slice of pine from the period covered by single-year calibration data (Stuiver 1993) was selected to serve as part of the quality assurance procedures of the English Heritage radiocarbon dating program, following successful wiggle-matching of 14C measurements from structural 15th century English oak timbers (Hamilton et al. 2007). The timber selected

Chronologies for Recent Peat Deposits Using Wiggle-Matched Radiocarbon Ages: Problems with Old Carbon Contamination [PDF]
Radiocarbon, 2005 Dating sediments which have accumulated over the last few hundred years is critical to the calibration of longer-term paleoclimate records with instrumental climate data. We attempted to use wiggle-matched radiocarbon ages to date 2 peat profiles from northern England which have high-resolution records of paleomoisture variability over the last ∼300 yr.

Synchronizing the Greenland ice core and radiocarbon timescales over the Holocene – Bayesian wiggle-matching of cosmogenic radionuclide records [PDF]
Climate of the Past, 2016 Investigations of past climate dynamics rely on accurate and precise chronologies of the employed climate reconstructions. The radiocarbon dating calibration curve (IntCal13) and the Greenland ice core chronology (GICC05) represent two of the most widely

Caveat emptor!—wiggle-matching European wood samples (AD 46–AD 286) [PDF]
RadiocarbonAbstractThis study suggests that there may be considerable difficulties in providing accurate calendar age estimates in the Roman period in Europe, between ca. AD 60 and ca. AD 230, using the radiocarbon calibration datasets that are currently available.

14C wiggle-matching of short tree-ring sequences from post-medieval buildings in England [PDF]
Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section B: Beam Interactions with Materials and Atoms, 2018 This study tests whether accurate dating by AMS radiocarbon wiggle-matching short tree-ring series (c. 30 annual rings) in the period after AD 1510 can be achieved routinely. Such an approach has proved problematic for some intervals in the period AD 1160–1541 (Bayliss et al., 2017), which are before single-year calibration data are available (Stuiver,

14C AMS wiggle matching of raised bog deposits and models of peat accumulation
Quaternary Science Reviews, 2000 High-resolution Accelerator Mass Spectrometer (AMS) C-14 dates of selected plant macrofossils from the raised bog Engberts-dijksvenen (Eastern Netherlands) show century-scale wiggles analogous to the radiocarbon calibration curve. We used three relative time scales, viz., based on depth, mass, and pollen concentration, respectively, to match the peat ...

Radiocarbon Wiggle-Matching of Japanese Historical Materials with a Possible Systematic Age Offset [PDF]
Radiocarbon, 2007 Progress in radiocarbon accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) techniques enables much more access to wiggle-matching techniques for high-precision 14C dating with relatively low costs than before. Recently, we have applied wiggle-matching for a number of wood samples where dendrochronology is difficult because of various limitations imposed for dendro ...
