The C14 measurements reported here were made in this laboratory between July 1969 and September 1970. The dating system consists of a 0.55 L copper-walled proportional counter (adapted from östlund and Engstrand, 1963, constructed by Outokumpu Oy, Research Lab., Tapiola, Finland) surrounded by a lead cylinder, 1.5 cm thick, placed within an anticoincidence meson detector. The system is encased in selected lead 1.5 cm thick, 7 cm of paraffin wax with ca. 10% boric acid and ca. 20 cm iron. Counter gas is CO2 with which the counter is filled to 228.6 m Hg at a detector temperature of 20°C. Background is 1.50 cpm and net contemporary value is ca. 10.0 cmp.
