ANU Radiocarbon Date List IX
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 18 July 2016
Extract
During the last seven years, there has been a concerted effort in eastern Australia to obtain 14C ages from detrital shell samples of prograded sand barriers composed of beach ridges and chenier deposits (Cook and Polach, 1973; Cook and Mayo, 1977; Thom, Polach, and Bowman, 1978; Thom et al, 1981). These ages were used to establish the age sequence of deposition and rates of progradation. This date list is the result of work in two areas of the Gulf of Carpentaria, Queensland, Australia, where 57 shell samples were collected for 14C dating. For details of this research, see Rhodes et al (1980).
