This paper considers modelling the 14C calibration curve using a variety of mathematical approaches. The main focus was the period of the 1st millennium BC which is characterized by fluctuations of the 14C concentrations in the atmosphere. This results in a non-linear relationship between the radiocarbon age and calendar age. The present study focuses on the influence of the calibration curve on statistical inference concerning time intervals of archaeological cultures and phases. The result shows that for the first millennium BC the time intervals estimated on the basis of calibrated radiocarbon dates differ from the real intervals on the calendar timescale.
