C14toF14C: Calculate F14C values from C14 ages

In rice: Radiocarbon Equations

Calculate F14C values from C14 ages

Description

Calculate F14C values from radiocarbon ages

Usage

C14toF14C(y, er = NULL, decimals = 8, lambda = 8033)

Arguments

y	Reported mean of the 14C age.
er	Reported error of the 14C age. If left empty, will translate y to F14C.
decimals	Amount of decimals required for the F14C value. Defaults to 8.
lambda	The mean-life of radiocarbon (based on Libby half-life of 5568 years).

Details

Post-bomb dates are often reported as F14C or fraction modern carbon. Since software such as Bacon expects radiocarbon ages, this function can be used to calculate F14C values from radiocarbon ages. The reverse function of F14C.age.

Value

F14C values from C14 ages.

Examples

  C14toF14C(-2000, 20)
