F14CtopMC: Calculate pMC ages from F14C values.

Description

Calculate pMC values from F14C values of radiocarbon dates.

Usage

F14CtopMC(F14C, er = NULL)

Value

The pMC values from the F14C values. Basically the original values multiplied by 100.

Arguments

F14C

Reported mean of the F14C

er

Reported error of the F14C. Returns just the mean if left empty.

Details

Post-bomb dates are often reported as F14C (between 0 at c. 55 kcal BP and 1 at c. AD 1950). Since software such as Bacon expects radiocarbon ages, this function can be used to calculate radiocarbon ages from F14C values. The reverse function is age.F14C.

Examples

Run this code
  F14CtopMC(1.10, 0.5)
