Radiocarbon evidence for decomposition of aged organic matter in the vadose zone as the main source of speleothem carbon
Several recent studies have used records of the radiocarbon (14 C) bomb peak in
speleothems to inversely model the soil a 14 CO 2 and the age distribution of soil organic …

Selection and treatment of data for radiocarbon calibration: an update to the International Calibration (IntCal) criteria
High-quality data from appropriate archives are needed for the continuing improvement of
radiocarbon calibration curves. We discuss here the basic assumptions behind 14C dating …
