Extract

In the summer of 1955, Nuclear Science and Engineering Corporation, as a basis for determining the demand and desired specifications for radiocarbon dating, carried out a survey of people and institutions believed to have some interest or potential interest in such dating. Polled were archaeologists and geologists in universities, museums, and oil companies. A total of 223 questionnaires was sent to these scientists, requesting information about their interest in having available a commercial laboratory for radiocarbon dating and the specifications that they would require in the analysis of the samples that were available.
