Table 1 Results of AMS 14C analysis for the seven samples extracted from the charred wood (CW) embedded in the Campanian Ignimbrite Yellow Tuff (Fig. 1) performed after both ABA and ABOx–SC pre-treatment procedures.

From: High-precision 14C and 40Ar/39Ar dating of the Campanian Ignimbrite (Y-5) reconciles the time-scales of climatic-cultural processes at 40 ka
