This article presents new values for the Scottish marine radiocarbon reservoir effect (MRE) during the Mesolithic at 4540–4240 BC (6490–6190 BP) and the Medieval period at AD 1460–1630 (490–320 BP). The results give a ΔR of –126±39 14C yr for the Mes... Read More about Marine Radiocarbon Reservoir Effects for the Mesolithic and Medieval periods in the Western Isles of Scotland.
