Recipe Details
Preparation Steps
The sample removal for parchment corresponds to a surface of approximately 1 cm2 (p. 199). The material undergoes a multi-level chemical cleaning process before transformation into graphite by burning (p. 199). The carbon content is then fixed to a metal core and analyzed via AMS to determine 14C percentage (p. 199).

Evidence
"the Tübingen manuscript has a radioactive carbon age of 1,357 years BP with a measurement precision of ±14 years BP."
Remarks
Calibrated dates for Ma VI 165 indicate a 95.4% probability range between 649-675 calAD (p. 202, Fig. 6.10). The study emphasizes combining 14C with paleographical analysis, noting the script is Kufic B despite its early age (p. 193).
