I tried to download the paper for further analysis, being very excited at the idea.... They ask me for a social science research ID ... which, by no surprise, I did not have... What is the point, I ask, of posting a link, on a chess website, that requires ID from a scientific community that an average chess player but nevertheless a scientific mind, with less papers obviously, would not have access to.?????
Radiocarbon dating in archaeology
Sort:
I obviously can't comment on what I cannot access.....
Cool.
really sorry about that ubermensch1952. did not know they were still doing that. it is a dumb way of trying to increase their membership. i think you can just opt to download as anon. or maybe the doi link will work.

hello uber, found this on your home page. i think it's brilliant.
There is no religion higher than truth
It comes from the sanskrit " Satyat Nasti paro Dharma " the motto of the Maharaj of Benares......
Couldn't access the paper, @Jamalov, but as a retired chemist I'd be interested. As you well know, radiocarbon dating is seen by some religious fundamentalists as questionable and inaccurate because it refutes their scriptural basis of creation. Most scientists regard it as accurate to around 9,000 years before it begins to fail.

I devised a new statistical method for analyzing radiocarbon data for the Iron Age in the Levant. It greatly increases the precision of dating. The method is based on a bootstrapping idea first suggested by Amir Aczel of Boston U. Anyway, if you have time to read it I would be interested in your comments. Here is the link:
