Waikato Radiocarbon Dating Laboratory
Oxford University archaeological scientist Professor Tom Higham - pictured in this file photo in his old lab in Hamilton - has hit out at cuts just confirmed by Waikato University. A world-renowned Kiwi archaeological scientist has hit out at his old university over job cuts he says will have a "profound" impact on research around the globe. Late last week, staff at Waikato University's School of Science learned 12 jobs - including senior academic roles totalling years of experience - are to be cut as part of a cost-saving restructure. Among those most affected are staff at the university's Waikato Stable Isotope Unit - to be shut down by the end of the month, with two positions disestablished - and its globally-recognised Waikato Radiocarbon Dating Laboratory WRDL.

This goal has, however, been elusive. While radiocarbon datasets in the region are typically dominated by marine and estuarine shell dates, such chronological information has been ignored by those interpreting the timing of key events because a detailed regional calibration methodology for marine shell, comparable to the highly precise Southern Hemisphere calibration curve, is lacking. Our dataset displays significant offsets between the measured New Zealand data and the modelled global marine radiocarbon curve.
