This paper presents an updated atmospheric radiocarbon calibration from annually
laminated (varved) sediments from Lake Suigetsu (LS), central Japan. As presented earlier,
the LS varved sediments can be used to extend the radiocarbon time scale beyond the tree
ring calibration range that reaches 11,900 cal BP. We have increased the density of 14C
measurements for terrestrial macrofossils from the same core analyzed previously. The
combined data set now consists of 333 measurements, and is compared with other …
