Abstract (AI)
Radiocarbon dating is one of the main methods used to establish peat chronologies. This article reviews the basis of the method and its application to dating of peat deposits. Important steps in the radiocarbon dating procedure are described, including selection and extraction of material (and fractions) for dating, chemical and physical preparation of media suitable for measurements, measurements of 14C activity or concentration, calculations, calibration of results and age-depth modelling.
Key Findings
1
Chemical and physical preparation of samples suitable for 14C measurement is critical in the peat dating workflow.
2
Key procedural steps for peat radiocarbon dating include material selection and fraction extraction for dating.
3
Radiocarbon dating is a primary method for establishing chronologies of peat deposits.
4
Radiocarbon measurements require calculation, calibration of results, and age-depth modelling to construct peat deposition chronologies.
5
The review summarizes the methodological basis and applications of radiocarbon dating specifically for peat deposit chronology construction.
