age.pMC: Calculate pMC values from C14 ages

In IntCal: Radiocarbon Calibration Curves

Calculate pMC values from C14 ages

Description

Calculate pMC values from radiocarbon ages

Usage

age.pMC(mn, sdev, ratio = 100, decimals = 3)

Arguments

mn	Reported mean of the 14C age.
sdev	Reported error of the 14C age.
ratio	Most modern-date values are reported against 100. If it is against 1 instead, use 1 here.
decimals	Amount of decimals required for the pMC value.

Details

Post-bomb dates are often reported as pMC or percent modern carbon. Since Bacon expects radiocarbon ages, this function can be used to calculate pMC values from radiocarbon ages. The reverse function of pMC.age.

Value

pMC values from C14 ages.

Examples

  age.pMC(-2000, 20)
  age.pMC(-2000, 20, 1)
