A four-character dash indicates multiple references by the same author. The second and following lines of references should start under the 5th character of the author's name, eg: Stuiver, M and Kra, RS, eds 1983 Internatl 14C conf, 11th, Proc. Radiocarbon 25(2): 171796.Google Scholar

List individual authors first followed by those with co-authors, eg: Stuiver, M 1982 A high-precision calibration of the AD radiocarbon time scale. Radiocarbon 24(1):126.Google Scholar

2) Book citation: Same as above for authors and year. Italicize title of book. Place of publication, publisher: number of pages, eg: Google Scholar
