Popis:	Well-cleaned canvas fibres from two oil paintings have been dated by radiocarbon. Although the dates agree with the expected ages of the paintings to a first approximation, uncertainties in the date arise from ambiguities (or ‘wiggles’) in the calibration curve. Only by introducing additional information about the paintings into the calculations can more precise results be obtained. Two paintings have been dated in this way, using the radiocarbon dating technique in conjunction with dendrochronological and art historical information.
