Abstract

The Last Glacial–Interglacial Transition (LGIT; 15,000–11,000 cal BP) was characterized by complex spatiotemporal patterns of climate change, with numerous studies requiring accurate chronological control to decipher leads from lags in global paleoclimatic, paleoenvironmental, and archaeological records. However, close scrutiny of the few available tree-ring chronologies and radiocarbon-dated sequences composing the IntCal13 14 C calibration curve indicates significant weakness in 14 C calibration across key periods of the LGIT. Here, we present a decadally resolved atmospheric 14 C record derived from New Zealand kauri spanning the Lateglacial from ~13,100–11,365 cal BP. Two floating kauri 14 C time series, curve-matched to IntCal13, serve as a 14 C backbone through the Younger Dryas. The floating Northern Hemisphere (NH) 14 C data sets derived from the YD-B and Central European Lateglacial Master tree-ring series are matched against the new kauri data, forming a robust NH 14 C time series to ~14,200 cal BP. Our results show that IntCal13 is questionable from ~12,200–11,900 cal BP and the ~10,400 BP 14 C plateau is approximately 5 decades too short. The new kauri record and repositioned NH pine 14 C series offer a refinement of the international 14 C calibration curves IntCal13 and SHCal13, providing increased confidence in the correlation of global paleorecords.

  • The new PPC extension was used to more securely wiggle-match the floating kauri chronology, which was used to reposition ZHYD-1 and CELM, extending it to 14,226 ± 4 cal BP.

    “The new PPC extension was then used to more securely wiggle-match the floating kauri chronology (Hogg et al. 2016) which in turn was used to reposition ZHYD-1 and the German/Swiss Central European Lateglacial Master Chronology (CELM) record (A. Sookdeo, personal communication) thus extending it to 14,226 ± 4 cal BP.”
  • A major inter-comparison exercise using late glacial floating kauri tree-ring sequences resulted in a 14C wiggle-match, with correction for interhemispheric offset, to the European Preboreal Pine (PPC) chronology.

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.
