S It has been suggested that utilization of the bristlecone pine calibration for 14 C age correction can result in dates which are up to several hundred years too early in comparison with archaeological evidence. Among other possible causes in situ production of 14 C due to the high altitude growth region of the bristlecone pine has been proposed to explain this effect. Although theoretical evaluation indicates that a significant amount of 14 C could be produced by this mechanism, irradiation of bristlecone pine wood with a neutron dose equivalent to the calculated cosmic ray maximum received by a 6000‐year‐old tree did not produce any detectable effect. Other geochemical considerations related to the growth environment of these trees may offer a possible explanation for enhanced 14 C levels. These inherent uncertainties in the 14 C record of the bristlecone pine emphasize the need for an alternative source of tree‐rings for comparative correlation with the 14 C time‐scale
