Revised calendar date for the Taupo eruption derived by 14C wiggle-matching using a New Zealand kauri 14C calibration data set (2012, background): “Matching of the data to the wiggles in the curve not only significantly improves the precision of the calibration but also reduces the influence of minor offsets (Bronk Ramsey et al., 2001).”
Developments in the Calibration and Modeling of Radiocarbon Dates (2010, methodology): “Dating precision at the decadal level is even possible in the case of wiggle-matching (Christen and Litton 1995; Bronk Ramsey et al. 2001; Galimberti et al. 2004) and is widely used for the comparison of calibration data sets.”
BAYESIAN ANALYSIS OF RADIOCARBON DATES (2009, methodology): “This is especially useful in the case of wood with well-defined tree rings (see Christen and Litton 1995) and the D_Sequence command in OxCal (Bronk Ramsey et al. 2001; Galimberti et al. 2004), and is regularly used to fit elements of floating tree-ring calibration data.”
Selection and Treatment of Data for Radiocarbon Calibration: An Update to the International Calibration (IntCal) Criteria (2013, methodology): “Terrestrial macrofossils can also be suitable for direct recording of atmospheric 14C if an independent timescale can be established (e.g. Bronk Ramsey et al. 2012), although it is also recognized that organic material can sometimes remain in the landscape for a considerable length of time before be”
