The measurements reported in this list have been made in the Isotope Laboratory of the Institute of Geophysics during 1963 and are a continuation of the work reported previously (UCLA I and UCLA II). The same counting procedure—CO2 proportional counting at 1 atm pressure in a 7.5 L counter with three energy channels—continues in use. No barometric effect on the background has been observed, presumably because of the combination of fairly constant barometric pressure in this area and the location of the equipment on the ground floor of a five storey building. Dates continue to be calculated on the basis of a C14 half life of 5568 yr according to the decision of the 1962 Cambridge Conference (Godwin, 1962). The modern standard has been taken as 95% of NBS oxalic acid for all organic samples, while for carbonate material such as shells and tufa, dates have been computed on the basis of estimates of the corresponding contemporary C14 activity (Broecker and Walton, 1959) as indicated in the description accompanying the results.
