SHCal04 calibration curve

Description

The SHCal04 Southern Hemisphere radiocarbon age calibration curve on a calendar grid spanning from 11,000–0 cal yr BP (Before Present, 0 cal yr BP corresponds to 1950 CE).

Note: This dataset provides {}^{14}C ages and F{}^{14}C values on a calendar age grid. This is different from the {}^{14}C ages and {\Delta}^{14}C values provided in oxcal .14c files.
