#' @description
#' Atmospheric radiocarbon calibration curve for the period 0 to 50,000 yr BP. 
#' 
#' @usage data(IntCal13)
#' @format
#'   A data frame with 5140 observations on the following 5 variables.
#'   \describe{
#'     \item{\code{CAL.BP}}{Calibrated age in years Before Present (BP).}
#'     \item{\code{C14.age}}{C14 age in years BP.}
#'     \item{\code{Error}}{Error estimate for \code{C14.age}.}
#'     \item{\code{Delta.14C}}{Delta.14C value in per mil.}
#'     \item{\code{Sigma}}{Standard deviation of \code{Delta.14C} in per mil.}
#'   }
#' 
#' @details
#' \code{Deltal.14C} is age-corrected as per Stuiver and Polach (1977). All details about the derivation of this dataset are provided in Reimer et al. (2013).
