Abstract
The following is a list of radiocarbon dates obtained since the time of the preparation of Michigan list III.∗ The description of the essential features of our method of measurement as given in the introduction to list III applies to this list. The modern standards used were obtained from hardwood logs, and were of various ages from 75 to 150 years by ring count. These standards were sufficiently old so that no correction for the recent dilution of the atmospheric C14is believed to be necessary in the dates reported here. The ages of carbonate sample are also calculated from modern wood as a reference standard, without any correction for isotope fractionation.
