Abstract
The C14 dates given below are a continuation of the work presented in our first list (Miami I) using the same apparatus and techniques described previously. In addition to the dating of marine carbonate materials, however, we have extended our methods to the dating of wood and peat samples. All dated peat and wood samples have been given a standard pretreatment by successive washings with dilute HCl and 2% NaOH solution for removal of carbonates and humic acids (Olson and Broecker, 1958). Where sufficient alkali-soluble “humic acid” was recoverable for analysis, this fraction was dated separately and is included with the date obtained from either the wood or peat.Keywords
