Radiocarbon calibration converts conventional radiocarbon ages into calendar-age information using independently dated material and models of changes in reservoir isotope ratios. Conventional ages use the historical 5568-year half-life, whereas the physical carbon-14 half-life is about 5730 years.[ref]
