Abstract: The following list comprises a selected number of measurements made up to November, 1965. Age calculations are based on a contemporary value equal to 95% of the activity of the NBS oxalic-acid standard, and on a half life for C14of 5570 yr. Results are reported in years before 1950, and in the A.D./B.C. scale. Errors quoted include the standard deviations of the count rates for the unknown sample, the contemporary value, and the background. Because possible errors arising from isotopic fractionation in the plants, or from the de Vries effect, have not been included, calculated errors smaller than 100 yr have been increased by rounding to that figure as a minimum.
