The following list of dates are selected from geologic and archaeologic samples measured in late 1973. The laboratory procedures and techniques are the same as indicated in R, 1974, v 16, p 402–408, where sample is synthesized to benzene and counted for 24 hours in either a Beckman LS-100-C or Packard 2311 liquid scintillation spectrometer. Ages are calculated relative to 0.95 x NBS oxalic acid using a 14C half-life of 5568 years. The quoted error is 1σ, which includes only the counting uncertainties of the background, modern standard, and sample. Sample descriptions and comments were written in collaboration with collectors and submitters.
