Journal Article
Millard, A. (2008). Comment on article by Blackwell and Buck. Bayesian Analysis, 3(2), 255-262. https://doi.org/10.1214/08-ba309b

Radiocarbon dating has come a long way since Willard Libby first conceived of the method (Libby et al. 1949; Arnold and Libby 1949) that was to earn him a Nobel Prize. Today we might consider Libby to be lucky that he could not detect the deviation f... Read More about Comment on article by Blackwell and Buck.
