Offsets of atmospheric radiocarbon concentration from IntCal09 in East Asia appeared in human bones excavated at Imdangdong tombs, Jingshan, Korea

Radiocarbon dating of human bones excavated from Imdangdong toms, Korea, was carried out. The preservation of bone collagen was poor, and even though the measurement was successful, their calibrated ages were not in good agreement with archaeological observations as well. However, in comparing to the radiocarbon offsets appeared in Japanese tree rings, the calibration age shifted to the proper age. This might show that the regional effects on calibration curve were coincident between Japanese archipelagos and Korean peninsula. (author)
