  <dc:title>R package rice version 2.2.1</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Provides functions for the calibration of radiocarbon dates, as well as options to calculate different radiocarbon-related timescales (cal BP, cal BC/AD, C14 age, F14C, pMC, D14C) and estimating the effects of contamination or local reservoir offsets (Reimer and Reimer 2001 &lt;doi:10.1017/S0033822200038339&gt;). Supporting publication: Blaauw, M., Reimer, P.J., 2026. An open-source toolkit for radiocarbon dating and calibration. Radiocarbon &lt;doi:10.1017/RDC.2026.10221&gt;. The methods follow long-established recommendations such as Stuiver and Polach (1977) &lt;doi:10.1017/S0033822200003672&gt; and Reimer et al. (2004) &lt;doi:10.1017/S0033822200033154&gt;. This package uses the calibration curves from the data package 'rintcal'.</dc:description>
