Following the 12th International Radiocarbon Conference in Trondheim, a special calibration issue was published (Stuiver and Kra 1986) carrying a bidecadal calibration curve from 1950 cal ad–2500 cal bc (Stuiver and Pearson 1986; Pearson and Stuiver 1986) that was recommended at the conference (Mook 1986).
