What will I learn?
This course offers a hands-on guide to radiocarbon dating using Carbon-14, covering field sampling, contamination prevention, lab preparation, AMS analysis, calibration, material selection, Bayesian chronologies, issue resolution, and clear reporting of results to teams.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Professional Carbon-14 sampling: gather, label, and ship samples without contamination.
- Lab pretreatment skills: ready wood, charcoal, bone, and fabrics for AMS radiocarbon dating.
- Bayesian modeling: create reliable site chronologies with precise age-depth models.
- Diagnose dating problems: spot outliers, old wood effects, reservoir offsets, and contamination.
- Communicate results: present calibrated Carbon-14 ages and uncertainties to non-experts.
