Uranium series and radiocarbon ages were measured in corals from the uplifted coral terraces of Huon Peninsula (HP), Papua New Guinea, to provide a calibration for the (super 14) C time scale beyond 30 ka (kilo annum). Improved analytical procedures, and quantitative criteria for sample selection, h...
