Abstract:		 The Oxford Radiocarbon Accelerator Unit (ORAU) has used an ultrafiltration protocol to further purify gelatin from archaeological bone since 2000. In this paper, the methodology is described, and it is shown that, in many instances, ultrafiltration successfully removes low molecular weight contaminants that less rigorous methods may not. These contaminants can sometimes be of a different radiocarbon age and, unless removed, may produce erroneous determinations, particularly when one is dating bones greater than two to three half-lives of 14C and the contaminants are of modern age. Results of the redating of bone of late Middle and early Upper Palaeolithic age from the British Isles and Europe suggest that it may be necessary to look again at the traditional chronology for these periods.
