CalPal - University of Cologne Radiocarbon Calibration Program Package

CALIBRATION DATA SETS

This is an Overview of the 14C Age Calibration Data Sets in CalPal. These data sets can be combined, as required, for CalCurve Construction using the CalCurveComposer.

For purposes of fine-tuning of age-models (cal-scale) and carbon reservoir values (14C-scale= use the calpal-dialog called "Reservoir-Explorer" to make and store the tuned data-files.

To manually add a new data set to the CalCurveComposer, you add the file name to the log-file stored in c:\calpal_a\select\select.log.
