pMCtoF14C: 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

pMCtoF14C(pMC, er = NULL)

Arguments

pMC	Reported mean of the F14C
er	Reported error of the pMC value. 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 F14C values from the pMC values. Basically the original values divided by 100.

Examples

  pMCtoF14C(110, 5)
