Abstract
High-precision <sup>14</sup>C measurements of Irish Oak samples at 10 and 20-year intervals covering the time period of AD 50-1830 are presented. These data are compared to the tree ring measurements to determine the fine detail of variation over time in the atmospheric <sup>14</sup>C concentration. The two types of measurements together provide a high-precision timescale calibration. Inter-laboratory comparison of a large number of data sets checks the accuracy of the <sup>14</sup>C measurements.
