This volume is a major revision and expansion of Taylor's seminal
book Radiocarbon Dating: An Archaeological Perspective. It covers
the major advances and accomplishments of the 14C method in
archaeology and analyzes factors that affect the accuracy and
precision of 14C-based age estimates. In addition to reviewing the
basic principles of the method, it examines 14C dating anomalies
and means to resolve them, and considers the critical application
of 14C data as a dating isotope with special emphasis on issues in
Old and New World archaeology and late Quaternary
paleoanthropology. This volume, again a benchmark for 14C dating,
critically reflects on the method and data that underpins, in so
many cases, the validity of the chronologies used to understand the
prehistoric archaeological record.
