C14topMC: Calculate pMC values from C14 ages

In rice: Radiocarbon Equations

Calculate pMC values from C14 ages

Description

Calculate pMC values from radiocarbon ages

Usage

C14topMC(y, er = NULL, decimals = 8, lambda = 8033)

Arguments

y	Reported mean of the C14 age.
er	Reported error of the C14 age.
decimals	Amount of decimals required for the pMC 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 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 pMCtoC14.

Value

pMC values from C14 ages.

Examples

  C14topMC(-2000, 20)
  C14topMC(-2000, 20, 1)
