Extract
The following list includes a selected number of measurements made during 1967-1968 in the Natural Radiocarbon Laboratory of the Centre de Recherches Radiogéologiques de Nancy. This list is a continuation of Nancy Natural Radiocarbon Measurements I (Radiocarbon, 1968, v. 10, p. 119-123). The dating method, counting technique, and equipment are described in that list. All measurements were made in a proportional counter with a capacity of 1.16 L, normally filled with CO2 under a pressure of 736 mm Hg. Ages are calculated using a C14 half-life of 5568 yrs with 1950 as reference yr. Modern standard used following samples Ny-118 is 95% of NBS oxalic acid activity. The SC14 mentioned later in the date list are calculated according to Broecker and Olson (1959).
