Abstract

The authors regret that the uncertainties stated in our paper for the overall estimates of the Marine20 ∆R (the radiocarbon marine reservoir correction) across all Natuna Island sites, using deltar and OxCal, were incorrect. The incorrect values provided in the last row of Table A2 for the overall ΔR for PNTN for Marine20 were −143 ± 176 yr from the program deltar and −145 ± 173 yr from OxCal. Instead, the correct values for these quantities are −143 ± 62 yr from deltar and −145 ± 48 yr from OxCal. Notably, the true uncertainties for those quantities were lower than we had stated in the paper. Considering the corrected values, the Marine20 ∆R uncertainties and the Marine13 ∆R uncertainties are of similar magnitudes. In addition to the two mistakes mentioned above in Table A2, the incorrect uncertainties were plotted on Fig. 4b, and they were stated five times in the text of the article (in the abstract, §1, §4.1, §5.1, §6). They were also stated incorrectly in the paper's highlights section. Below we include an updated version of Table A2 and Fig. 4b. None of our other conclusions are affected. The authors would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused.
