ABSTRACT Shells from Neolithic shell midden sites have been routinely dated in Korea, but they not calibrated based on the correction values (ΔR) for marine reservoir effect (MRE). A lack of proper calibration has left dates shells incomparable to those terrestrial samples, and thus unusable building chronological sequence middens. Here, we report two new ΔR a pre-bomb (pre-1950) blue mussel so...
