chronological marker. Indeed, the matching of these kinks
(known as wiggles), based on a multiplicity of
14 C dates
obtained from blocks of tree rings, separated by a known
number of calendar years, allows, by the method of
“wiggle-matching” (Pearson 1986), a greatly improved
accuracy of radiocarbon dating, as illustrated by the example
of the post n◦ 69 (Fig. 8.5) from the submerged coastal
habitat of Montpenèdre (Hérault, France).
