Presented below are dates from some important archaeologic and Quaternary sites. All dates are based on τ ½ = 5568 yr; to convert the radiocarbon dates for archaeologic samples into ad/bc scale, 1950 has been used as base as per the resolution passed at the Ninth International Radiocarbon Conference, San Diego, 1976. The dates are not corrected for 13C fractionation. All the dates older than 10,000 yr have been given with 2σ errors. Due to uncertainty about the contribution of the biogenic carbon in caliche (CaCO3) samples, the dates represent apparent and not true ages.
