Groningen Radiocarbon Dates VIII

Abstract

This list contains dates for Latin America which have mainly been measured during the past few years. The results are grouped into three categories: geologic, archaeologic, and geophysical, and arranged according to the country of provenance, passing roughly from N to S. Most of the geologic samples are connected with palynologic studies. In cases where the influence of man is apparent in the pollen diagrams, this is explicitly mentioned. Descriptions and comments are based on information provided by the collectors or submitters and on the publications referred to under each sample or series. For the archaeologic section reference has also been made to the general works of Meggers and Evans (1963), Jennings and Norbeck (1964), and Willey (1966).
