The 14C dates listed in this report on archaeologic and geologic samples were obtained mainly from 1969 to 1974. Pretreatment of wood charcoal and carbonized fossil soil by boiling in acid, alkali, and acid, again, is standard procedure. The method employed is liquid scintillation counting of synthesized benzene using the basic techniques described by Arslanov and Gromova (1968) converting sample → Li2C2 → C2H2 → C6H6 with an overall yield to ca 90%. A vanadium-alumina catalyst is used at reduced temperature for the acetylene to benzene conversion. Anthracite coal was used for the dead carbon run.
