Learning from the Wood Samples in ICS, TIRI, FIRI, VIRI, and SIRI
Open accessAbstract
Each of the laboratory intercomparisons (from ICS onwards) has included wood samples, many of them dendrochronologically dated. In the early years, as a result of the majority of laboratories being radiometric, these samples were typically blocks of 20–40 rings, but more recently (SIRI), they have been single ring samples. The sample ages have spanned background through to modern. In some intercomparisons, we have examined different wood pretreatment effects, in others the focus has been on background samples. In this paper, we illustrate what we have learned from these extensive intercomparisons involving wood samples and how the results contribute to the global IntCal effort.

Much of the current observed variation in AMS 14C-to-LLGPC comparisons is as likely to relate to interlaboratory variations in methods and instruments as to a typical offset.
“Much of the current observed variation is as likely to relate to interlaboratory variations in methods and instruments [an ever-present issue (8, 11, 48)], something only more evident as AMS 14C approaches the precision of LLGPC and LSC datasets.”

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.
