The 14C dates given below are continued from our previous list (R, 1972, v 14, p 223–238), and results obtained mainly during 1971–2 are described. A 2.7L stainless steel counter and a 3.3L copper counter are used as previously, yielding background counting rates of 6.9 and 6.0 cpm, respectively, when filled with dead CO2 at ca 1.8 atm. Dates have been calculated on the basis of the 14C half-life of 5568 yr and 95% of NBS oxalic acid is modern standard. No correction has been made for any of the samples in this list.
