Radiocarbon

Aims & Scope

The purpose of RADIOCARBON is to publish technical and interpretive articles on all aspects of 14C and other cosmogenic isotopes.

In addition, we present regional compilations of published and unpublished dates along with interpretive text.

Besides the triennial proceedings of the International Radiocarbon Conferences, we publish occasional special issues that focus on particular themes.
