This date list consists of those measurements made since 1962. The counter is one described previously (Fairhall and Schell, 1963). The results are computed using NBS oxalic acid as the standard and 5568 for the half-life of C14. Standard deviations are computed for each measurement, including the statistical error in the sample count and uncertainties in background and standard. In general, each sample is counted at least twice. The quoted error on the date is the standard deviation. A 2σ criterion is used to establish a lower limit to the age of very old samples with no detectable trace of C14. No correction for isotope fractionation has been made in any of the measurements.
