2) Determine from the calibration data (the band with data on its shape) the probabilities of each C14 age given the precise calendar age.

Let us simplify the problem further and assume that the lab can estimate the RC age on a sample (given an assumed initial mass fraction) with negligible error, and then consider how we generate the probability distribution for calendar date even when we have no laboratory measurement error to take into account.

You finally filter out from the collection of trials all those with a particular measured C14 age, and look at the distributions of true calendar ages that generated it, compared against the measured calendar age distribution each algorithm output.

Taking this route, the objective posterior PDF for calendar age is the normalised product of the 14C age likelihood function (since the 14C objective Bayesian posterior is proportional to its likelihood function), expressed in terms of calendar age, multiplied by the derivative of t14C with respect to ti.

You submit a physical sample which has a particular true calendar / C14 age combination — a random point on the calibration curve — with some input distribution.

(We end up with a large set of probabilities, one for each combination of calendar age and count.

It's quite possible that such intervals don't answer the question that needs answering anyway, and that instead what is needed is, say, the posterior probability that the calendar age is between 1100 and 1400 (with these endpoints having been pre-specified as the ones of interest).

There are two values involved here — the carbon - 14 measurement, which is recorded to some number of decimal places, and the true calendar age, which we can suppose is a real number with infinite precision.

Initially I was concerned that the non-monotonicity problem was exacerbated by the existence of calibration curve error, which results in uncertainty in the derivative of 14C age with respect to calendar age and hence in Jeffreys» prior.

One can think of there being a nonlinear but exact functional calibration curve relationship s14C = c (ti) between calendar year ti and a «standard» 14C age s14C, but with — for each calendar year — the actual (true, not measured) 14C age t14C having a slightly indeterminate relationship with ti.

If the measurement for carbon - 14 age has Gaussian error with standard deviation 100 (as seems about right for Nic's Fig. 2), and the measurement is rounded to one decimal place, and the calibration curve maps calendar age 750 to carbon - 14 age 1000, then the probability of the observation being 1000.0 given that the calendar age is 750 is 0.1 (for one decimal place) times the probability density at 1000 of a Gaussian distribution with mean 1000 and standard deviation 100, which works out to 0.0004.

The prior gives virtually zero probability to large intervals of calendar age based solely on the shape of the calibration curve, with this curve being the result of physical processes that almost certainly have nothing to do with the age of the sample.

There's just no way this makes any sense — for instance, in your example of Fig. 2, it makes no sense to conclude that the calendar age has almost zero probability of being in the interval 750 to 850, when these calendar ages are amongst those that are MOST compatible with the data, and we are assuming that there is no specific prior knowledge that would eliminate years in this range.

The reason for the form here of Jeffreys» prior is fairly clear — where the calibration curve is steep and hence its derivative with respect to calendar age is large, the error probability (red shaded area) between two nearby values of t14C corresponds to a much smaller ti range than when the derivative is small.

I'd certainly agree that a measurement of carbon - 14 age with significant error can't provide conclusive evidence that the calendar year is in some region where the calibration curve is almost flat.
