    Publication Date: 1962-01-01
    Description: The measurements reported in this list have been made since the Radiocarbon Dating Laboratory at the Institute of Geophysics, UCLA became operational in August 1961. CO2proportional counting was used for all measurements in an 7 · 5-L counter at 1 atm pressure. Dates have been calculated on the basis of the C14half life of 5568 ± 30 yr, and 95% of NBS oxalic acid as modern standard. It is planned to discuss the half life in the light of the newer measurements at a conference in 1962. Prior to general agreement as to the new best figure we propose that all dates continue to be calculated on the old basis. Samples have been carefully inspected, cleaned, picked free of rootlets, and pretreated with HCl when necessary.

    Publication Date: 1968-01-01
    Description: The measurements reported have been carried out during the first half of 1967 in the Isotope Laboratory of the Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics as a continuation of the UCLA date lists I through VI. Samples were analyzed as CO2-gas at close to one atm in a 7.5 L proportional counter with 3 energy channels described earlier. Radiocarbon ages have been calculated for uniformity on the basis of a 5568-yr half-life as was recommended by the Sixth International C14 and H3 Dating Conference, June 1965, in Pullman, Washington. The standard for the contemporary biosphere remains as 95% of the count rate of NBS oxalic acid for radiocarbon laboratories. Background determinations have been based on CO2 obtained from marble. The error listed is always at least a 1σ statistical counting error. In critical cases C13/C12 isotope ratio measurements were made to correct the dates for fractionation. All samples were subjected to accepted NaOH and/or HCl pretreatments depending on the individual case as a minimum to exclude contamination. The annual curve for the atmospheric C14 content at China Lake, California, will be published in the next date list.

    Publication Date: 1967-01-01
    Description: The measurements reported have been carried out during 1966 in the Isotope Laboratory of the Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics as a continuation of the UCLA date lists I through V. Samples were analyzed as CO2-gas at one atm in a 7.5 L proportional counter with three energy channels. The all-solid-state unit is supplied with high voltage from a remarkably stable and interference-free battery source. Radiocarbon ages have been calculated on the basis of a 5568-yr half-life as was recommended by the Sixth International C14 and H3 Dating Conference, June 1965, in Pullman, Washington. The standard for the contemporary biosphere remains as 95% of the count rate of NBS oxalic acid for radiocarbon laboratories. Background determinations have been based on CO2 obtained from marble. The error listed is always at least a one-sigma statistical counting error. In critical cases C13/C12 isotope ratio measurements were made to correct the dates. All samples were subjected to accepted pretreatments differing in the individual cases to exclude contamination.

    Publication Date: 1964-01-01
    Description: The measurements reported in this list have been made in the Isotope Laboratory of the Institute of Geophysics during 1963 and are a continuation of the work reported previously (UCLA I and UCLA II). The same counting procedure—CO2 proportional counting at 1 atm pressure in a 7.5 L counter with three energy channels—continues in use. No barometric effect on the background has been observed, presumably because of the combination of fairly constant barometric pressure in this area and the location of the equipment on the ground floor of a five storey building. Dates continue to be calculated on the basis of a C14 half life of 5568 yr according to the decision of the 1962 Cambridge Conference (Godwin, 1962). The modern standard has been taken as 95% of NBS oxalic acid for all organic samples, while for carbonate material such as shells and tufa, dates have been computed on the basis of estimates of the corresponding contemporary C14 activity (Broecker and Walton, 1959) as indicated in the description accompanying the results.

    Description: The measurements reported have been carried out during 1965 in the Isotope Laboratory of the Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics as a continuation of the UCLA date lists I through IV. Samples were analyzed as CO2-gas at one atm in a 7.5 L proportional counter with three energy channels. Dates have been calculated on the basis of a 5568 yr half-life as was recommended by the Sixth International C11 and H3 Dating Conference, June 1965, in Pullman, Washington. The standard for the contemporary biosphere remains as 95% of the count rate of NBS oxalic acid for radiocarbon laboratories. Background determinations have been made with CO2 obtained from marble. The error listed is always at least a one-sigma statistical counting error.

    Description: The measurements reported in this list have been made in the Isotope Laboratory at the Institute of Geophysics, UCLA during 1962. Dates have been calculated on the C14 half life of 5568 years and using 95% NBS oxalic acid as modern standard, in agreement with the decision of the Fifth Radiocarbon Dating Conference (Godwin, 1962).

    Publication Date: 1965-01-01
    Description: The measurements reported in this list have been carried out in the Isotope Laboratory of the Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics during 1964. They are a continuation of the previously reported date lists UCLA I, II and III. The same counting procedure has been continued: CO2 proportional counting at 1 atm of pressure in a 7.5 L counter with three energy channels. Dates have been calculated according to the recommendations of the Fifth Radiocarbon Conference, Cambridge, 1962, on the basis of a radiocarbon half-life of 5568 yr (Godwin, 1962). The modern standard for organic samples has been based on 95% of the count rate of NBS oxalic acid for radiocarbon laboratories. Background measurements are determined with CO2 derived from marble. The ages of carbonate-containing substances such as shells and tufa have been calculated on the basis of estimates for the corresponding contemporary C14 activity (Broecker and Walton, 1959), as discussed in the respective sample descriptions. New methods of sample preparation are described in context with the date listings.

    Description: The measurements reported have been carried out during the first half of 1968 in the Isotope Laboratory of the Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics as a continuation of the UCLA date lists I through VIII. Samples were analyzed as CO2-gas at close to one atm in a 7.5 L proportional counter with three energy channels described in earlier publication. Radiocarbon ages have been calculated for uniformity on the basis of a 5568 yr half-life in accord with a recommendation by the Sixth International C14and H3Dating Conference, June 1965, in Pullman, Washington. The standard for the contemporary biosphere remains as 95% of the count rate of NBS oxalic acid for radiocarbon laboratories. Background determinations have been based on CO2obtained from marble. The error listed is always at least a one-sigma statistical counting error. In critical cases C13/C12isotope ratio measurements were made to correct the dates for fractionation. All samples were subjected to accepted NaOH, HCl or other special chemical pretreatments discussed below depending on the individual case to exclude contamination.
