Elevify Advantages
Develop Skills
- Conduct professional 14C sampling by collecting, labelling, and transporting samples without contamination.
- Prepare diverse materials like wood, charcoal, bone, and textiles for accurate AMS dating through lab pretreatment.
- Develop Bayesian 14C models to create reliable calibrated chronologies with precise age ranges.
- Identify and resolve dating anomalies including outliers, old wood effects, reservoir offsets, and contamination.
- Present 14C dating outcomes clearly, explaining calibrated ages and uncertainties to non-experts.
