This date list reports dates of archaeological samples of Mesolithic and Neolithic sites of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. We use liquid scintillation counting at the Geochemical and Statistical Laboratory of the Institute of Zoology and Botany, Estonian Academy of Sciences. Our modern standard is benzene enriched in 14C and its activity is checked with an NBS oxalic acid standard sample. Dates are given in conventional 14C years, based on the Libby half-life of 5570 ± 30 yr. AD 1950 is the reference year. Errors are based on one standard deviation calculated from count rates.
