Radiocarbon Dating Resolution Calculator
Calculate expected temporal resolution of radiocarbon dating based on the expected actual age of the samples.
Enter sample age (in years AD, use negative values for BC):

For an overview of the method see: Svetlik et al. (2019) DOI: 10.1017/RDC.2019.134.
The expected measurement uncertainty for 0 BP is ±15 radiocarbon years. This value grows exponentially depending on the age of the sample (see Svetlik et al. 2019 for the exact formula).
Radiocarbon dates are calibrated using atmospheric data from the IntCal20 dataset by: Reimer et al. (2016) DOI: 10.2458/azu_js_rc.55.16947
