Abstract

This list includes age measurements made from November 1970 to December 1971. All archaeologic and geologic samples come from Italian territory. Laboratory equipment, largely unchanged but expanded and technically improved, was previously described (Alessio et al., 1970a). Charcoal and wood samples underwent standard pretreatment by boiling with 5 to 10% HCl; α-labeled samples were given additional leaching with 6% NH4OH or 0.2N NaOH.
