The following list consists of dates for archaeological samples measured mostly between October 1989 and November 1990. Charcoal and grain samples were pretreated with 1M HC1 followed by washing in water and, in the majority of cases, with dilute alkali for the removal of humic acids. Wood samples were treated in the same way, or, if large enough, reduced to cellulose with chlorine dioxide produced in situ. Antler and bone samples were treated with cold dilute acid. We use the term “collagen” to mean the acid-insoluble organic fraction produced by this treatment rather than the true biochemical definition.
