The laboratory has been operating more than five years, supported entirely from Venezuelan government funds. Approximately 530 samples have been dated to the end of 1969. Of these, 40% are archaeologic specimens, the majority (141 samples) from Venezuela. Materials from most other countries of Latin America have been processed. The rest of the samples are from research programs of the Radiocarbon Laboratory itself. Thirty per cent of the total are measurements on carbonate species extracted from Venezuelan ground water aquifers.
