Abstract

14C dates listed in this report on geochemical, geologic, and archaeologic samples were obtained mainly from the beginning of 1971 to the middle of 1973. Techniques of measurement used are the same as described previously (Yang, 1972). Sample descriptions and comments for archaeologic samples were prepared in collaboration with collectors and submitters. For age calculation, 95% activity of NBS oxalic acid is used as the modern standard and the value of 5568 ± 40 years is used for the half-life of 14C. Dates are expressed in years bp (before ad 1950). The error (1σ) quoted is calculated from the uncertainty involved in counting background, NBS oxalic acid standard, and sample.
