U.S. Geological Survey Radiocarbon Dates IX

Abstract

This list contains the results of measurements made during 1965 and 1966. Samples are counted in the form of acetylene gas, as previously, and ages computed on the basis of the Libby half-life, 5568 ± 30 yr. The error listed is always larger than the one-sigma statistical counting error commonly used, takes into account known uncertainty laboratory factors, but does not include external (field or atmospheric) variations.
