The Low-level Measurements Laboratory at AERE, Harwell was set up some years ago principally to measure natural levels of tritium in water for hydrologic applications. The measurement of 14C in groundwater carbonates was a logical development from this work. In the period 1971–73 the measurement system has been extended to include archaeologic samples and this is the first list of dates for samples submitted during that period.
