Abstract:		 The Belfast Palaeoecology Laboratory has been constructing an oak tree ring chronology in order to produce a 14C calibration for European low-altitude timber. The results are markedly different from those of Suess for bristlecone pine, though until the floating tree-ring chronology is tied down it cannot be determined whether the difference is systematic or not. It is concluded that in the calibration of the 3rd millennium BC there are no wiggles greater than 0 3%; that archaeologists can have more confidence in smoothed bristlecone pine curves such as that of Damon et al; and that a realistic standard deviation of at least 100 years should be applied to all routine 14C measurements. If dates appear synchronous it is because they are so, not because of calibration wiggles.
