Procedures and equipment used in the University of Wisconsin laboratory have been described in previous date lists (Bender, Bryson & Baerreis 1965; Steventon & Kutzbach 1986). Except as otherwise indicated, wood, charcoal and peat samples are pretreated with dilute NaOH-NA4P2O7 and dilute H3PO4 before conversion to counting gas methane; when noted, marls and lake cores are treated with acid only. Very calcareous materials are treated with HCL instead of H3PO4.

Procedures and equipment used in the University of Wisconsin laboratory have been described in previous date lists (Steventon & Kutzbach 1983; 1984). Except as otherwise indicated, wood, charcoal, and peat samples are pretreated with dilute NaOH-Na4P2O7 and dilute H3PO4 before conversion to the counting gas methane; when noted, marls and lake cores are treated with acid only. Very calcareous materials are treated with HCl instead of H3PO4. Pretreatment of bone varies with the condition of the bone sample; solid bone with little deterioration is first cleaned manually and ultrasonically. The bone is treated with 8% HCl for 15 minutes, then dilute NaOH-Na4P2O7 for 3 hours at room temperature, washed until neutral, and the collagen extracted according to Longin (1971). Charred bone is treated with dilute HCl, NaOH-Na4P2O7, and then dilute HCl again.

Procedures and equipment used in the University of Wisconsin laboratory have been described in previous date lists. The preamplifiers and counting system were replaced in 1977 using modified EC & G Ortec components. Except as otherwise indicated, wood, charcoal, and peat samples are pretreated with dilute NaOH-Na4P2O7 and dilute H3PO4 before conversion to the counting gas methane; when noted marls and lake cores are treated with acid only.

The radiocarbon dates obtained since August, 1968, are reported here. Wood, charcoal, and peat samples are pretreated with dilute NaOH and dilute H3PO4 before conversion to the methane used as counting gas; marls and lake cores are treated with acid only. The reported dates have been calculated using 5568 years as the half-life of C14, 1950 as the reference year. Samples are run at least once in each of two 0.5 liter counters at 3 atm pressure for a minimum total of 15,000 counts. The standard deviation quoted includes only the 1σ of the counting statistics of background, sample, and standard counts.
