CALIB radiocarbon calibration

CALIB 7.1 is a menu-driven program to calibrate ¹⁴C ages, provide Δ¹⁴C series and display results.

CALIBomb radiocarbon calibration

CALIBomb is a program that allows the user to calibrate modern, pre- and post-bomb, radiocarbon ages.

Marine Reservoir Database

The marine reservoir correction database contains the regional differences from the average global marine reservoir correction, designated ΔR (Stuiver and Braziunas 1993). It is intended for use with radiocarbon calibration programs such as CALIB or OxCal using the 2009 marine calibration dataset.

Freshwater Reservoir Database

The freshwater reservoir offset database contains localised offset calculations based on a range of sample types from freshwater areas. It is intended for use in the interpretation of radiocarbon dates where freshwater reservoir effects (FRE) may be present.

Irish Quaternary Association grants for radiocarbon dates

IQUA organises the Bill Watts ¹⁴CHRONO Awards, supported by the ¹⁴CHRONO Centre. The Awards pay for a number of AMS radiocarbon dates for current postgraduate members of IQUA, with each winner describing their research and the use of their free dates in short articles in the IQUA Newsletter.

British Quaternary Association grants for radiocarbon dates

QRA-14CHRONO Centre Radiocarbon Dating Award is an award set up by the British Quaternary Association in collaboration with the ¹⁴CHRONO Centre. Up to ten AMS radiocarbon dates in total will be awarded during each year.

Royal Irish Institute grants for radiocarbon dates

The Royal Irish Academy in association with Queen’s University Belfast offers radiocarbon dating for up to twelve applicants per annum to be used for the purposes of archaeological research in Ireland. A minimum of two out of the twelve radiocarbon dates offered are exclusively allocated to students each year.
