In this study, molluscan shells housed at the University Museum, the University of Tokyo, provided a new set of region-specific correction values (R) for the western Pacific, in particular for the central part of the main islands in the Japanese Archipelago and the southwest islands of Japan. The values of 40 total samples were calculated from 11 regions. North of the main islands and in the Ryukyu Islands, the mean R values showed comparatively small values, 5-40 14C yr; in the central part of the main islands, these values were 60-90 14C yr.Type
