F14CtopMC: Calculate pMC ages from F14C values.

In rice: Radiocarbon Equations

Calculate pMC ages from F14C values.

Description

Calculate pMC values from F14C values of radiocarbon dates.

Usage

F14CtopMC(F14C, er = NULL)

Arguments

F14C	Reported mean of the F14C
er	Reported error of the F14C. Returns just the mean if left empty.

Details

Post-bomb dates are often reported as F14C (between 0 at c. 55 kcal BP and 1 at c. AD 1950). Since software such as Bacon expects radiocarbon ages, this function can be used to calculate radiocarbon ages from F14C values. The reverse function is age.F14C.

Value

The pMC values from the F14C values. Basically the original values multiplied by 100.

Examples

  F14CtopMC(1.10, 0.5)
