A New Radiocarbon Database for the Lower 48 States
Abstract
From 2014 to 2020, we compiled radiocarbon ages from the lower 48 states, creating a database of more than 100,000 archaeological, geological, and paleontological ages that will be freely available to researchers through the Canadian Archaeological Radiocarbon Database. Here, we discuss the process used to compile ages, general characteristics of the database, and lessons learned from this exercise in “big data” compilation.

The Canadian Archaeological Radiocarbon Database now restricts information on dates run on Ancestors, even if these dates were run prior to NAGPRA implementation.
“For example, the Canadian Archaeological Radiocarbon Database (CARD), which is a global database that includes information from the United States, now restricts information on dates run on Ancestors in the database, even if these dates were run prior to the implementation of NAGPRA (see Kelly et al. 2022).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
