  1. The 14C age was converted into calendar years (cal. yr BP, BP = AD 1950) by using the Marine1350 calibration curve and the Calib7.0.4 program51. Prior to calibration, the age was corrected for an extra 49 ± 42 years regional reservoir effect (ΔR) using the value reported in the Marine Reservoir Correction Database (http://calib.qub.ac.uk/marine/). The calibrated age range reflects the 95.4% probability window (2σ).
