The radiocarbon dates reported in this date list cover the measurements carried out in 1979 to 1980. Chemical and counting procedures are the same as reported earlier (R, 1978, v 20, p 398–404). Age calculations are based on the conventional 14C half-life (5570 yr) and on the contemporary value of 95% of the activity of NBS oxalic acid. Errors quoted correspond to 1σ value which takes into account the counting statistics, the uncertainty in the half-life, and the instability of the counting system. The ages are not corrected for isotopic fractionation in nature.
