Description:
This list reports measurements made on archaeologic samples by our laboratory from September 1980 to May 1982. Results of measurements made during that period which lack review by submitters will be reported in a subsequent date list. Dates were obtained by liquid scintillation counting of benzene using the laboratory procedure outlined previously (R, 1982, v 24, p 344–351). All dates are expressed in 14C years relative to ad 1950 based on the Libby half-life for 14C of 5568 yr. The laboratory standard continues to be ANU sucrose. Data analysis is now performed with the aid of an RT-11 microcomputer interfaced with our Packard model 3255 LS counter. Dates have been corrected for isotopic fractionation only when the δ13C value is given. No corrections have been made for natural 14C variations. The following descriptions of samples are based on information provided by the submitters.
