A C14-dating installation was operated in the Physics Department, Trinity College, Dublin, from early 1958 until early 1960, by I. R. McAulay. Construction and testing of the apparatus had occupied 15 months previous to this. Material for dating was selected and pretreated by W. A. Watts, who also collected and submitted the samples and carried out pollen analyses except where the contrary is stated in the text. The project was a short-term one with two main aims; to obtain a few key archaeologic dates, particularly in the Neolithic, to help orientate chronologic discussion; and to test the validity of the pollen zonation for the post-Atlantic of Mitchell (1956).
