What was the ratio and amount of c14/c12 in the year 4101 and what random events affected that and in what way? I'll expect a full factual answer. You might also wish to include exact data for 10 years either side of it and show proof. The carbon dating method relies on this sort of data, so if you can't demonstrate you know and prove it with actual samples from that year.. you're guessing and that's the point I'm making. Yes, I do understand how it works.

Not having access to the journals I can only point out that there are tree-rings back 7000 years and marine samples going back about 20000 years. These all agree with radiocarbon dating. The trees are from all over the world. The oxygen ratios in the ice cores also agree.
