What will I learn?
This course offers a hands-on guide to radiocarbon dating, covering field sampling, contamination prevention, lab pretreatment, AMS analysis, and calibration techniques. You'll learn to select optimal materials, construct reliable Bayesian chronologies for sites, troubleshoot dating challenges, and effectively share calibrated results with uncertainties to teams and stakeholders.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Professional 14C sampling: gather, label, and move samples without contamination.
- Lab pretreatment skills: ready wood, charcoal, bone, and fabrics for AMS testing.
- Bayesian 14C modelling: create site chronologies with dependable age estimates.
- Spot dating problems: identify outliers, old wood effects, reservoir issues, and contamination.
- Share 14C findings: clearly explain ages and uncertainties to non-experts.
