| 8 | +### Standards from Millard (2014) |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +1. The laboratory measurement should be reported as a conventional 14C age in 14C yr BP or a |
| 11 | +fractionation-corrected fraction modern (the F14C value of Reimer et al. 2004) according to |
| 12 | +the amended conventions of Stuiver and Polach (Stuiver and Polach 1977; Stuiver 1980, 1983; |
| 13 | +Reimer et al. 2004). |
| 14 | +2. The laboratory code for the determination should be included. |
| 15 | +3. The sample material dated, the pretreatment method applied, and quality control measurements |
| 16 | +should be reported. |
| 17 | +4. The calibration curve and any reservoir offset used. |
| 18 | +5. The software used for calibration, including version number, the options and/or models used, |
| 19 | +and wherever possible a citation of a published description of the software. |
| 20 | +6. The calibrated date given as a range (or ranges) with an associated probability on a clearly |
| 21 | +identifiable calendar timescale. |

| 92 | +### IntCAL Standard Reporting |
| 93 | + |
| 94 | +* Standards are reported on the [IntCal Instructions](https://intchron.org/tools/integrate/help_IntCal.html) page and in the [schema](https://intchron.org/schema.html) |
| 95 | + |
| 96 | +Record Metadata |
| 97 | +* site: the site name |
| 98 | +* country (blank if marine) |
| 99 | +* longitude (optional but desirable) |
| 100 | +* latitude (optional but desirable) |
| 101 | +* elevation (optional but desirable) |
| 102 | +* site_type (optional but desirable) |
| 103 | +* record: the record name |
| 104 | +* changed (optional - if set implies file_data is different from the original file) |
| 105 | +* refs: DOIs |
| 106 | + |
| 107 | +Key Intcal parameters |
| 108 | + * z (Depth/Ring): general depth or ring measurement (see below) |
| 109 | + * z_range (z range): range in z (see below) |
| 110 | + * t (Date): general date parameter - the timescale is defined at the record level; internally this is stored as fractional astronomical years but can be displayed in a number of different formats (calBP, fractional years, BC/AD etc) |
| 111 | + * t_sigma (±1σ): one sigma uncertainty in t |
| 112 | + * sample (Sample): the sample name (see below) |
| 113 | + * ring_segment (Seg.): the segment of a ring measured (EW, LW, EW/LW, EW1, EW2, LW1, LW2 etc.) |
| 114 | + * labcode (Lab code): the radiocarbon lab code in standard format |
| 115 | + * batch (Batch): the measurement batch (magzine/wheel) in which the measurements were made |
| 116 | + * r_date (R_Date): the uncalibrated radiocarbon date in 14C years BP |
| 117 | + * r_date_sigma (±1σ): the one sigma uncertainty in r_date |
| 118 | + |
| 119 | +Special IntCal parameters |
| 120 | + * calage (CalAge): required for all data - this is the age of the sample in years calBP; in normal circumstances t will be 1950.5 - calage |
| 121 | + * calage_range (CalSpan): this is the range of the sample material (see below); the default value is 1 |
| 122 | + * calage_sigmaI (±1σ): this is the one sigma independent uncertainty in the age (0 for dendrochronologically dated material) |
| 123 | + * calage_sigmaD (±1σ): this is the one sigma systematic uncertainty in the age of the entire dataset (typically for tree ring series) |
| 124 | + * calage_sigmaC (±1σ): correlated uncertainty (used for example in the Cariaco Basin varved sediments) |
| 125 | + * intcal_reservoir (Reservoir): the marine reservoir offset (relative to the atmosphere) of this sample set |
| 126 | + * intcal_reservoir_sigma (±1σ): the one sigma uncertainty in intcal_reservoir_sigma |
| 127 | + |
| 128 | +The following parameters are used internally in the IntCal curve process and are typically not set on submission of data |
| 129 | + * intcal_data_id (Id): the unique ID number for this data point in IntCal |
