          Abstract

          The radiocarbon ages of dendrochronologically-dated wood samples, each covering 10 years, are now available for the cal AD 1950–6000 BC age range. The decadal calibration curve constructed from these data comprises 1) the previously published AD 1950–2500 BC portion (Stuiver & Becker 1986), to which minor14C age corrections were applied, and 2) the new 2500–6000 BC extension.

          A high-precision calibration of the AD radiocarbon time scale

          Minze Stuiver (1982)
          A high-precision calibration curve, derived from the radiocarbon age determinations of 195 decade samples spanning the AD 1 to 1950 interval, is presented.

            High-Precision Decadal Calibration of the Radiocarbon Time Scale, AD 1950–2500 BC

            Bernd Becker, Minze Stuiver (1986)
            The radiocarbon ages of dendrochronologically dated wood samples, each covering 10 years, are reported back to 2500 yr BC. The decadal calibration curve constructed from these data is an extension of the curve previously given for the AD interval (Stuiver, 1982). A major difference with the previous work, however, is the assessment of the error in the radiocarbon age determination. Whereas previously this error was only based on the Poisson counting statistics of the accumulated number of counts for the sample and standards, the current calibration error is based on an estimate of the reproducibility in the radiocarbon activity determination. As a consequence, the uncertainty in the current calibration curve is, on average, 1.6 times that of the AD curve previously given.

              Radiocarbon Calibration Data for the 6th to the 8th Millennia BC

              Bernd Becker, Hildegard Schoch-Fischer, Michael Bruns … (1986)
              14C calibration curves derived from South German oak tree-ring series are presented. They cover the interval between 4400 and 7200 BC complementing existing data sets and extending them to older periods. The atmospheric14C level before 6200 BC no longer follows the long-term sinusoidal trend fitted to the bristlecone data. This observation is supported by a tentative match of the Main 9 series.
