  • 摘要:It is now accepted that the precise dating of certain periods is complicated by extreme variability of atmospheric 14C content shown at times in the 14C calibration curve. This complication arises from variations in atmospheric 14C content and is known as wiggles in the calibration curve. Radiocarbon age ‘plateaus’, are caused by a decrease in the atmospheric 14C concentration and appear as a slowing down of the 14C clock such as occurred during the Younger Dryas (YD) chronozone. In eff ect, similar 14C ages apply across a range of up to 500 calendar years. The opposite is observed when atmospheric 14C levels increase so that the 14C clock appears to speed up. In such cases, which include the beginning of the YD and Pre-Boreal intervals, the true age of a sample, taking dating errors into account, may spread across a comparatively wide 14C age range.
