- Context
- This date was referenced in Lister 1997 as cal 181 BC, converted by Smiley in accord with an article in Radiocarbon by Stuiver and Pearson, "High-precision Calibration of the Radiocarbon Time Scale." Working backwards from their calibration tables, 181 BC is approximately 2140 BP. The +/-40 standard error is an estimate based on comparable precision from Beta Analytic during the 1980s. Delta 13C is unknown.
