The C14 dates given below are continued from our previous list (R., 1970, v. 12, p. 559–576), and results obtained mainly during 1970 are described. A 2.7 L stainless steel counter and a 3.3 L copper counter are used, yielding background counting rates of 5.5 and 8.5 cpm, respectively, when filled with dead CO2 at ca. 1.8 atm. Dates have been calculated on the basis of the C14 half-life of 5568 yr and 95% of NBS oxalic acid as modern standard.
