The C14 measurements reported here were carried out by the Radiocarbon Laboratory, Dept. of Geophysics and Geochemistry, A.N.U., between Jan. and Aug. 1967. Laboratory equipment consists of a Beckman methane gas-proportional unit (ANU I) supplemented in Dec. 1966 by an automatic 3-channel Beckman model LS-200 liquid scintillation spectrometer. Synthesis of methane and benzene is the same as used in ANU I and described by Polach and Stipp (1967). Treatment of samples remains a 2N hot acid (HCl) wash unless otherwise specified. Where applicable, fractional separation follows procedures reported by Olson (1963), Berger et al. (1964), Tamers and Pearson (1965), and Krueger (1966). In the treatment of bone samples, physical or mechanical cleaning could not completely remove sedimentary material often filling the structural pores. This material, if present, was retained with the fraction referred to as “collagen”. Since we are not dealing with pure collagen, we prefer to call it “acid-insoluble” bone fraction, a name describing the treatment. These dates are reported as equal to or greater than given age. Table 1 summarizes all dated fractions.
