Strontium was isolated and analysed following the methods described by Pourmand et al. and Pourmand and Dauphas.
“Strontium was isolated from the samples by extraction chromatography and analysed by MC-ICO-MS (Thermo Fisher Neotune PlusTM) following the methods described by Pourmand et al.82 and Pourmand and Dauphas83”

“A Bayesian model was constructed using OxCal 4.4 software 81 and the calibrated IntCal20 curve 82 to refine radiocarbon date calibrations and detect any discrepancies between the 14 C ages and their relation to other radiocarbon dates from the three excavated deposits in El Mirador cave.”

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.
