We undertook a strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analysis of Northern Hemisphere tree-ring datasets included in IntCal20 in order to evaluate their strategic fit with the demands of archaeological users. Case studies on wiggle-matching single tree rings from timbers in historic buildings and Bayesian modeling of series of results on archaeological samples from Neolithic long barrows in central-southern England exemplify the archaeological implications that arise when using IntCal20. The SWOT analysis provides an opportunity to think strategically about future radiocarbon (14C) calibration so as to maximize the utility of 14C dating in archaeology and safeguard its reputation in the discipline.

IntCal20 年轮：考古 Swot 分析

我们对 IntCal20 中包含的北半球树木年轮数据集进行了优势、劣势、机会和威胁 (SWOT) 分析，以评估它们与考古用户需求的战略契合度。历史建筑中木材的摆动匹配单树年轮的案例研究以及英格兰中南部新石器时代长手推车考古样本的一系列结果的贝叶斯建模举例说明了使用 IntCal20 时产生的考古意义。SWOT 分析提供了一个战略性思考未来放射性碳的机会（14C) 校准以最大限度地利用14C 在考古中约会，维护其在学科中的声誉。
