Abstract

Radiocarbon measurements by accelerator mass spectrometry relating to three of the four late Holocene Mississippi River subdeltas yielded consistent results and were found to differ by up to 2000 carbon-14 years from previously inferred ages. These geological data are in agreement with archaeological carbon-14 data and stratigraphic ages based on ceramic seriation and were used to develop a revised chronologic framework, which has implications for prehistoric human settlement patterns, coastal evolution and wetland loss, and sequence-stratigraphic interpretations.

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.
