age.pMC {rintcal}

Calculate pMC values from C14 ages

Description

Calculate pMC values from radiocarbon ages

Usage

age.pMC(mn, sdev = c(), ratio = 100, decimals = 5, lambda = 8033)

Arguments

mn

Reported mean of the 14C age.

sdev

Reported error of the 14C age.

ratio

Most modern-date values are reported against 100. If it is against 1 instead, a warning is provided; use age.F14C.

decimals

Amount of decimals required for the pMC value. Defaults to 5.

lambda

The mean-life of radiocarbon (based on Libby half-life of 5568 years)

Details

Post-bomb dates are often reported as pMC or percent modern carbon. Since Bacon expects radiocarbon ages, this function can be used to calculate pMC values from radiocarbon ages. The reverse function of pMC.age.

Value

pMC values from C14 ages.

Examples

  age.pMC(-2000, 20)
  age.pMC(-2000, 20, 1)
