Abstract
This paper reports the first ages determined in the C14Dating Laboratory of the Geological Survey of Canada. The C14dating program of the Geological Survey is a cooperative project; geologists of the Pleistocene Section assess and select samples for dating, and the Isotope and Nuclear Research Section, under Dr. R. K. Wanless, developed and operates the laboratory and calculates ages. The first part of this paper, devoted to sample preparation, counting procedure, and interlahoratory check dates was prepared by the first author, who built and operates the laboratory. The date list was compiled by the second author from descriptions of samples and interpretations of dates provided by various collectors. Most samples analyzed so far have originated within the Geological Survey.Keywords
