Abstract Variability of atmospheric 14 C content often complicates radiocarbon-based chronologies; however, specific features such as periods of constant 14 C age or steep changes in radiocarbon ages can be useful stratigraphic markers. The Younger Dryas event in the Northern Hemisphere is one of th...
