A Consideration of Some Basic Ideas for Quality Assurance in Radiocarbon Dating
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 18 July 2016
Abstract
Most radiocarbon ages are readily accepted by researchers in all disciplines. It is recognized, however, that discrepancies appear in the literature. These problems have been highlighted by the International Collaborative Study. The introduction of quality control and assurance techniques used in some laboratories for many years could reduce or eliminate aberrant results. I present here some of the basic considerations of this approach in the processes of conventional radiocarbon dating.
