What to know more about radiocarbon or chronological modelling? Our 2026 short course is now open for registration. 17th - 19th March in Oxford/online. @isotopesuk.bsky.social @philascough.bsky.social @unioxarchaeology.bsky.social lifelong-learning.ox.ac.uk/courses/shor...

👋 Hello, Bluesky! We’re Radiocarbon, an international peer-reviewed journal (since 1959) dedicated to advancing radiocarbon research, from calibration and chronology to applications across archaeology, geology, environmental science, and more. We’re glad to be here. #Radiocarbon #Geochronology

New paper by Tamsin O’Connell: This is a MUST read for all archaeologists who include isotopes in their projects. “The signal and the noise: inherent challenges for isotopic studies in bioarchaeology” doi.org/10.1016/j.ja... #stableisotopes
