Walrus population-specific marine reservoir offsets (ΔR) for calibration of radiocarbon dates: Implications for Arctic chronologies and medieval trade

Walruses have long played a vital role in Arctic subsistence and commercial economies, yet accurate radiocarbon dating of walrus-derived archaeological materials is complicated by regional variation in marine reservoir effects. This study presents new ΔR values derived from 31 ne...
