Plans for a radiocarbon dating laboratory at the University of Lund were initiated by Tage Nilsson and Holger Arbman in 1962. Work was begun in 1964 and at the end of 1965 most of the dating equipment was installed. Dating began in 1966 after careful testing of counting electronics and counters.

The dating system has two 1-L copper-walled proportional counters of Östlund-Engstrand construction (for details see Stockholm V. p. 204, Fig. 1) surrounded by 2.5 cm of selected lead, followed by a ring of 23 cosmic-ray Geiger counters (model HZ-100, Zentralwerkstatt Göttingen). On all sides are at least 20 cm of iron. Above and on both long sides of the counters are 10 cm of paraffin wax with about 12% boric acid between the iron layers.
