Calculate pMC values from radiocarbon ages
age.pMC(mn, sdev, ratio = 100, decimals = 3)Reported mean of the 14C age.
Reported error of the 14C age.
Most modern-date values are reported against 100. If it is against 1 instead, use 1 here.
Amount of decimals required for the pMC value.
pMC values from C14 ages.
Post-bomb dates are often reported as pMC or percent modern carbon. Since Bacon expects radiocarbon ages, this function can be used to calculate pMC values from radiocarbon ages. The reverse function of pMC.age.
