Calibrate radiocarbon dates

Source: R/c14_calibrate.R
c14_calibrate.Rd

Transforms 'raw' radiocarbon ages into a calendar probability distribution using a calibration curve.

Usage

c14_calibrate(c14_age, c14_error, c14_curve = IntCal20)

Arguments

c14_age

Vector of uncalibrated radiocarbon ages.

c14_error

Vector of standard errors associated with c14_age.

c14_curve

A c14_curve object or list of c14_curve objects. See c14_curves for a list of the standard curves provided with the packages. Default: IntCal20.

Value

A cal vector.

Examples

c14_calibrate(1000, 30)
#> <c14_cal[1]>
#> [1] 797–956 cal BP
c14_calibrate(1000, 30, IntCal20)
#> <c14_cal[1]>
#> [1] 797–956 cal BP
