We calibrated portions of the radiocarbon time scale with combined (super 230) Th, (super 231) Pa, (super 14) C measurements of corals collected from Espiritu Santo, Vanuatu and the Huon Peninsula, Papua New Guinea. The new data map (super 14) C variations ranging from the current limit of the tree-...
