Description

147 pages. References. "The six papers in this collection represent the formal contributions to a one-day seminar held in Edinburgh University in 1974." - from Introduction. "The technical complexities of C-14 dating can baffle archaeologists. This book attempts their rescue. It is by specialists for non-specialists. The realization that the production rate of C-14 in the atmosphere was not constant undermined the assumption that C-14 years could be equated with calender years. Correction by calibration with cross-dated tree-ring radio-carbon samples offers hope, but creates 'correction curves' of bewildering variety. This book explains the issues clearly and simply, provides valuable comparative data, assesses the reliability of the methods, tells how to take a sample, and where to send it for dating." - from dust jacket.
