The last decade saw a rapid increase in the number of studies where time–frequency
changes of radiocarbon dates have been used as a proxy for inferring past population …

Long-term sedimentary sequences provide a wealth of useful information for research into
the palaeo-environment, especially in relation to past climate change. Shorter records …

Bayesian models have proved very powerful in analyzing large datasets of radiocarbon
(14C) measurements from specific sites and in regional cultural or political models. These …

Temporal correlation between some continental flood basalt eruptions and mass extinctions
has been proposed to indicate causality, with eruptive volatile release driving environmental …

OxCal is a widely used software package for the calibration of radiocarbon dates and the
statistical analysis of 14C and other chronological information. The program aims to make …

If radiocarbon measurements are to be used at all for chronological purposes, we have to
use statistical methods for calibration. The most widely used method of calibration can be …

The Chicxulub asteroid impact (Mexico) and the eruption of the massive Deccan volcanic
province (India) are two proposed causes of the end-Cretaceous mass extinction, which …

People usually study the chronologies of archaeological sites and geological sequences
using many different kinds of evidence, taking into account calibrated radiocarbon dates …

This paper highlights some of the main developments to the radiocarbon calibration
program, OxCal. In addition to many cosmetic changes, the latest version of OxCal uses …
