The IntCal20 Northern Hemisphere radiocarbon age calibration curve on a calendar grid spanning from 55,000–0 cal yr BP (Before Present, 0 cal yr BP corresponds to 1950 CE).

Note: This dataset provides \({}^{14}\)C ages and F\({}^{14}\)C values on a calendar age grid. This is different from the \({}^{14}\)C ages and \({\Delta}^{14}\)C values provided in oxcal .14c files.
