The SHCal13 Southern Hemisphere radiocarbon age calibration curve on a calendar grid spanning from 50,000–0 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.

c14_sig

The (1-\(\sigma\)) uncertainty in the \({}^{14}\)C age

f14c

The \({}^{14}\)C age expressed as F\({}^{14}\)C concentration

f14c_sig

The (1-\(\sigma\)) uncertainty in the F\({}^{14}\)C concentration
