Assumptions baked into the VMS carbon dating

Just for clarity, those two black bumps are not results for different folios.  They are for the same folio (f68).  The concentration of C14 in the atmosphere (blue curve) had a big hiccup just around ~1350.  Therefore, what the measurement says is that the vellum of f68 is almost certainly either from 1308 to 1362 or from 1385 to 1436, with almost 50-50 chance for each.  

It is very unlikely to be from the interval ~1360 to ~1385.  Ignoring this caveat, it can be said to be from 1308 to 1436 with 95.4% probability.

All the best, --stolfi
