Extract
The following list includes determinations completed since publication of our last date list (R, 1976, v 18, p 43-49). Sample preparation and counting configuration remains the same as for DAL-I. Age determinations are based on at least two counter fillings (except as noted for very small samples) for a total of 3000 minutes and are calculated from at least 5000 minutes modern and background counts updated weekly by alternating modern and background samples in the counters over weekends. Age calculations are based on the Libby half-life of 5568 y and includes 1 σ statistical uncertainties of sample, modern, and background activity. Reference age is ad 1950 and is determined from 95 oxalic acid activity or age-corrected 1850 wood.
