The following list consists entirely of dates for archaeologic samples from the prehistoric flint mining site of Grime's Graves, Weeting, Thetford, Norfolk, England (52° 30' N, 0° 40' E, Natl Grid Ref TL 816898), measured over the period from August 1973 to December 1977,* all the samples having been excavated between 1972 and 1976. The dates were obtained by liquid scintillation counting of benzene using a Model 3315 Packard Tricarb Liquid Scintillation Spectrometer linked to a Hewlett Packard 2100A computer system for on-line processing of counting data (Hall & Hewson, 1977). The laboratory procedures used were those outlined in the two previous lists (R, 1976, v 18, p 16; 1977, v 19, p 143).
