Percent of Modern Carbon
pMC_value the measured amount of the percent of modern carbon
pMC_error the error on that measurement
As these are analytically obtained values, and are in decimal format, I am assuming they will go to this table,
In the case of the pMC_error, they will be assigned a ± qualifier through the creation of a new column using the code=replace(replace(value_type_name,'pmc_value', ''), 'pmc_error', '±')
I asked Phil about the difference between qualifier_id, qualifier_symbol_id, and cardinal_qualifier_id and when to use which
The question was deferred to Roger. Still waiting for a decision on how we will do this as of 2026-09-17
