A Bibliography of Radiocarbon Dating∗
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 18 July 2016
Extract
The scope of the problems which are involved in the determination of radiocarbon dates renders complete, or detailed, classification of the published results of the research most complicated. In assembling this bibliography several such classifications were discarded before the present simplified one emerged. It was found, for example, that in a detailed classification of subject titles a large number of papers would have to be listed under several, sometimes as many as four, different headings. This complicated and lengthened the listing and also materially increased the chance of inaccurately locating a title. In such an event it would be “lost” to all but the most meticulous searcher. The reduction in the number of subject headings is open to criticism. We suspect, however, that these are answered by the simplicity of the present outline.
