age.F14C: Calculate F14C values from C14 ages

In Maarten14C/IntCal: Radiocarbon Calibration Curves

Calculate F14C values from C14 ages

Description

Calculate F14C values from radiocarbon ages

Usage

age.F14C(mn, sdev = c(), decimals = 5, lambda = 8033)

Arguments

mn	Reported mean of the 14C age.
sdev	Reported error of the 14C age. If left empty, will translate mn to F14C.
decimals	Amount of decimals required for the F14C value. Defaults to 5.
lambda	The mean-life of radiocarbon (based on Libby half-life of 5568 years)

Details

Post-bomb dates are often reported as F14C or fraction modern carbon. Since Bacon expects radiocarbon ages, this function can be used to calculate F14C values from radiocarbon ages. The reverse function of F14C.age.

Value

F14C values from C14 ages.

Examples

  age.F14C(-2000, 20)
