Abstract
Radiocarbon measurements in this list were made from Sept. to Dec., 1968. They are based on acetylene counting in an Oeschger-Houtermans-type proportional counter (1 L) at pressure 1 atm. All data are based on duplicated measurements. For calculation of ages, 95% activity of NBS oxalic acid is used as the modern standard and value of 5570 + 30 years is used for the half-life of C14. Dates are expressed in years B.P. (before A.D. 1950). Error corresponds to 1σ deviation of sample net counting rate as well as modern standard and background. Details of procedures are given in previous reports (R., 1968, v. 10, p. 144–148; 1969, v. 11, p. 509–514)
