What will I learn?
This course provides a practical guide to radiocarbon dating using Carbon-14, covering field sampling, contamination prevention, lab pretreatment, AMS analysis, calibration, material selection, Bayesian chronologies, issue resolution, and clear communication of results to teams.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Professional 14C sampling: collect, label, and transport uncontaminated samples.
- Lab-ready pretreatment: prepare wood, charcoal, bone, and textiles for AMS dating.
- Bayesian 14C modeling: build calibrated site chronologies with robust age ranges.
- Diagnose dating issues: detect outliers, old wood, reservoir and contamination.
- Communicate 14C results: explain calibrated ages and uncertainty to non-specialists.
