Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The potential of AMS to double the timespan of the radiocarbon method of dating has not yet been realized because of sample contamination effects. However, the small sample size allows extra selectivity. The measurement of isotopic ratio to better than 1% is already being achieved. So many dates are now available that new dating runs need to be carefully selected. Technical aspects are discussed, and applications mentioned include Giants' Hills long barrows, the Sproughton points, the Hazleton chambered tomb, and a lake sediment. E T Hall sums up the discussion meeting, pp 171-2, and calls for extreme care to ensure reliable dating. |
