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

WIGGLE MATCHING WITH CORRELATIONS [PDF]
Radiocarbon, 2022 AbstractWiggle matching is an important and powerful technique in radiocarbon dating that can be used to improve the precision of calendar age estimates. All radiocarbon determinations require calibration to provide calendar age estimates. This calibration is achieved by comparing the determinations against a calibration curve $\mu ( \cdot )$ to ...

Wiggle Matching Analysis of the Doors of Santa Sabina in Rome
RIHA Journal, 2019 The doors of Santa Sabina on Rome’s Aventine Hill are the most complete Late Antique doors surviving today. Widely studied in the last 150 years, the question of their dating has never been completely resolved.

Dental wiggle matching: Radiocarbon modelling of sub-sampled archaeological human dentine
Quaternary International, 2021 Marine reservoir effects (MRE) have the potential to increase the dating uncertainty of humans incorporating marine resources into their diets. Here we attempt a novel dental wiggle-match model to reduce dating uncertainty of seven individuals from the Resmo megalithic tomb (Öland, Sweden) and to test whether this model can be used to calculate MRE ...

Resolving Indigenous village occupations and social history across the long century of European permanent settlement in Northeastern North America: The Mohawk River Valley ~1450-1635 CE. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2021 The timeframe of Indigenous settlements in Northeast North America in the 15th-17th centuries CE has until very recently been largely described in terms of European material culture and history. An independent chronology was usually absent.

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 ...

Dating the Noceto Vasca Votiva, a unique wooden structure of the 15th century BCE, and the timing of a major societal change in the Bronze Age of northern Italy. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2021 The Noceto 'Vasca Votiva' (votive tank), discovered in excavations on a terrace at the southern edge of the Po Plain, northern Italy, is a unique well-preserved wooden (primarily oak) structure dated to the advanced through late Middle Bronze Age (~1600 ...

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.

The “Amsterdam Castle”: A Case Study of Wiggle Matching and the Proper Calibration Curve [PDF]
Radiocarbon, 1995 We have performed a high-precision 14C wiggle-matching study on two oak beams from the “Castle of Amsterdam”. These beams are also dated by dendrochronology. Our two dating methods can only be made consistent using the recommended calibration curve (1986) instead of the revised one (1993).
