Radiocarbon Dating Topics

As part of the introduction to radiocarbon dating by Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS), Dr. Pauly will talk about:

• radiocarbon production in the atmosphere and integration into biological matter;
• carbon-14 variability in the recent past due to anthropogenic influences and the deep past due to solar cycles; and
• variability in dating uncertainty due to wiggles within the radiocarbon curve.

She will also discuss the types of organisms and artifacts that can be radiocarbon dated and how to best select and prepare samples for AMS dating.
