Radiocarbon Dating: An Archaeological Perspective
Abstract
A model describing the production, distribution, and decay of 14>sC led to a proposal that the 14>sC content of an organic sample could be used as an index of age. Willard F. Libby conducted the critical experiments which established the basic validity of the method during 1947-9. Since that time all of the 6 basic physical assumptions of the method have been the subject of continuing scrutiny. Archaeologists who rely on 14>sC values to construct their chron-ologies are especially concerned with errors that may be introduced as a result of violations of lte 1 of the fundamental assumptions. Error reduction strategies are best implemented by close interdisciplinary collaboration and cooperation between radiocarbon specialists and those engaged in archaeological research studies.

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.
