C14 and calibration resources¶
There are some interesting websites to learn about radiocarbon calibration and related topics. Some of them have been useful during the development of this software.
Other software¶
- OxCal is developed by the RLAHA at Oxford
- CALIB is a radiocarbon calibration program. A command-line Linux version is available (non-free software, but works well)
- BCal is an on-line Bayesian radiocarbon calibration tool hosted by the Department of Probability and Statistics at the University of Sheffield.
Reference websites¶
- Oxford Radiocarbon Accelerator Unit contains a detailed explanation of how to use C14 datings and how calibration works
- Radiocarbon is the main international journal of record for research articles and date lists relevant to 14C and other radioisotopes and techniques used in archaeological, geophysical, oceanographic, and related dating techniques
- radiocarbon WEB-info provides online information concerning the radiocarbon dating method
Calibration curves¶
- IntCal09 Supplemental Data to get the calibration curves in .14c ASCII format
- IntCal04 Supplemental Data are the previous version of the same data
