Mark Van Strydonck, Myriam Landrie, Mathieu Boudin', Piet M. Grootesl, Marie-J. Nadeau\ Eddy Keppens2 This list contains the results of the 14 C determinations obtained at the laboratory since the publication of our last lisP. IRPA samples are prepared and measured by r..-counting in the institute4 , KIA samples 5 are prepared in the institute and measured by AMS at the Leibniz Labor für Altersbestimmung und lsotopenforschung. lsotopic fractionation (by MS) and C:N ratios are measured at the Free University of Brussels. Dates are reported as conventional 14C ages6 . Samples with a negative age are reported as PMC (Percent Modern Carbon). Sample description is based on the information given by the submitter.
