rice: Radiocarbon Equations

Description

Provides functions for the calibration of radiocarbon dates, as well as options to calculate different radiocarbon-related timescales (cal BP, cal BC/AD, C14 age, F14C, pMC, D14C) and estimating the effects of contamination or local reservoir offsets (Reimer and Reimer 2001 \Sexpr[results=rd]{tools:::Rd_expr_doi("10.1017/S0033822200038339")}). The methods follow long-established recommendations such as Stuiver and Polach (1977) \Sexpr[results=rd]{tools:::Rd_expr_doi("10.1017/S0033822200003672")} and Reimer et al. (2004) \Sexpr[results=rd]{tools:::Rd_expr_doi("10.1017/S0033822200033154")}. This package uses the calibration curves from the data package 'rintcal'.
