pMCtoD14C: Transform F14C into D14C

In rice: Radiocarbon Equations

Transform F14C into D14C

Description

Transform F14C into D14C

Usage

pMCtoD14C(pMC, er = NULL, t)

Arguments

pMC	The pMC value to translate
er	Reported error of the pMC value. Returns just the mean if left empty.
t	the cal BP age

Details

As explained by Heaton et al. 2020 (Radiocarbon), 14C measurements are commonly expressed in three domains: Delta14C, F14C and the radiocarbon age. This function translates F14C values into Delta14C, the historical level of Delta14C in the year t cal BP. Note that per convention, this function uses the Cambridge half-life, not the Libby half-life.

Value

The corresponding D14C value

Examples

  pMCtoD14C(0.985, .1, 222)
