The dating equipment and operating procedures in the Physical laboratory remained as described previously (R, 1974, v 16, no. 1, p 6-9).

Dates were calculated using the 5568-year half-life with 1950 as the reference year, the modern standard being 0.95 of the activity of the NBS oxalic acid standard. When done, δ13C was measured on CO2 produced in the combustion of samples, and results are given relative to the PDB standard. All samples were from Ireland.
