IntCal09 calibration curve
Description
The IntCal09 Northern Hemisphere radiocarbon age calibration curve
on a calendar grid spanning from 50,000–0 cal yr BP
(Before Present, 0 cal yr BP corresponds to 1950 CE).
Note: This dataset provides C ages and F
C values
on a calendar age grid. This is different from the
C ages
and
C values provided in oxcal .14c files.
