The following list comprises a selected number of measurements made up to October, 1967. Age calculations are based on 95% of the activity of the NBS oxalic-acid standard, and on a half-life for C14 of 5570 yr. Results are reported in yr before 1950, and in the A.D./B.C. scale.

Errors quoted include standard deviations of the count rates for the unknown sample, contemporary value, and background. Because possible errors arising from isotopic fractionation in the plants, or from the de Vries effect, have not been included, calculated errors smaller than 100 yr have been increased by rounding to that figure as a minimum.

Sample descriptions have been prepared in collaboration with collectors and submitters.
