A9 Forensics application of radiocarbon

A9 Forensics application of radiocarbon

Besides the traditional applications of 14C dating in geo-chronology and Cultural Heritage studies, different studies have shown the potential of the method in forensics. Here the use of 14C is essentially based on the detection of the excess of 14C, released in the atmosphere because of in-air nuclear weapons tests and in the use of the so-called "bomb spike" as calibration curve.

Indeed, although the important advantages of the method and namely the achievable high chronological resolution, the high accuracy of the used experimental methods, its potential appears only partially exploited in the routine forensics practice.

Contributions dealing with open issues such as the definition of procedures for samples selection and chemical processing, quality assurance, calibration, data analysis and interpretation, achievable precision and accuracy levels as well as inter-comparison exercises are welcome.

In this session, the discussion initiated during the meeting “14C and the protection of cultural heritage” Zurich, 2017 should be continued. Therefore, papers discussing real case studies and possible ethical issues associated with the use of 14C-dating to dating antique objects, often including human remains are desired. Moreover, our discussion extends to the protection of ivory and endangered species.

The session is organized under the auspices of IAEA (International Atomic Energy agency) in the frame of the CRP (Coordinated Research Projects): Enhancing Nuclear Analytical Techniques to Meet the Needs of Forensics Sciences
