Concept for adding radiocarbon data: "laboratory + sample No.: 14C year ± range BP" 

 laboratory: identifies the laboratory that tested the sample, and the sample ID (specific 3 letter abbreviation) 
 sample no.: ID given to each sample by laboratory 
 14C year: the laboratory's determination of the age of the sample, in radiocarbon years 
 range: the laboratory's estimate of the error in the age, at 1σ confidence 
 BP: "before present" 

 *Update* 
 We can take a look at "IOSACal":https://iosacal.readthedocs.io/ which is an    is an open source tool for radiocarbon calibration, can create plots and is written in Python
