Radiocarbon is widely used for dating a range of archaeological andgeographical objects. This package provides a number of functions tocalibrate radiocarbon dates, including ones to transfer values betweendifferent timescales (F14, D14C, pMC, C14 ages), to simulate the impactsof contamination, and to plot one or more calibrated dates.
Please check out the vignettes folder for a tutorial. In short,install the package from github, load it and run the two mainfunctions:
{r, eval=FALSE} require(remotes) install_github("Maarten14C/rice") library(rice) calibrate(2450,20) contaminate(55000, 100, .05, 1) draw.contamination()
To use high-resolution maps, install thernaturalearthhires package from GitHub (also installremotes if you haven’t already):
install.packages("remotes")remotes::install_github("ropensci/rnaturalearthhires")
