c14_calibrate: Calibrate radiocarbon dates

In joeroe/stratigraphr: Archaeological Stratigraphy and Chronological Sequences

Calibrate radiocarbon dates

Description

A thin wrapper of rcarbon::calibrate() that returns calibrated dates as a single list rather than a 'CalDates“ object. Useful, for example, if you want to add a column of calibrated dates to an existing table with dplyr::mutate()

Usage

c14_calibrate(cra, error, ..., engine = c("rcarbon", "OxCal", "Bchron"))

Arguments

cra	A vector of uncalibrated radiocarbon ages.
error	A vector of standard errors associated with cra
...	Optional arguments passed to calibration function.
engine	Package to use for calibration, i.e. rcarbon::calibrate() ("rcarbon"), oxcAAR::oxcalCalibrate() ("OxCal"), or Bchron::BchronCalibrate() ("Bchron"). Default: "rcarbon".

Value

A list of cal objects.

  dplyr::mutate(cal = c14_calibrate(cra, error))
