Abstract: Most of the 14C measurements reported here were made between October 1978 and October 1979. Equipment, measurement, and treatment of samples are as reported previously (R, 1968, v 10, p 36-37; 1976, v 18, p 290) except for some minor improvements of the electronic equipment. Sediment samples too small to allow pretreatment, are now burned at <650°C in order to avoid pyrolysis of carbonates that may be present in the samples. Same max combustion temperature is used for samples with suspected graphite contamination. A movable thermocouple (Philips TERMOCOAX TCI 30/50/3) in the combustion zone is used for checking the temperature.
