TY - JOUR AU - KLINKEN, G. J. VAN AB - INTRODUCTION This sixteenth list of accelerator dates consists mainly of material dated since the beginning of 1991, but includes a number of measurements made earlier in the dating programme. The dates have been achieved by the methods described in Law and Hedges (1989) and Hedges et al. (1989). Determinations with OxA numbers greater than 2095 were measured on the CO, gas ion-source (Bronk and Hedges 1989) rather than on the previous irongraphite system. In accordance with international radiocarbon convention all dates are expressed in radiocarbon years before AD 1950 (years BP) using the half-life of 5568 years, this convention having been reaffirmed at the Trondheim Radiocarbon Conference 1985 (Stuiver and Kra 1986). Errors are quoted as one standard deviation and are based on an assessment of all the contributions to the error in the laboratory isotope ratio measurement. Natural fractionation of carbon isotopes is accounted for by estimating 6l 3C values except for the more recent dates where 613C have been measured relative to PDB (only to within f 0.5-1.0%0). All combining procedures and significance tests are based on Ward and Wilson (1978). Comments composed by the Laboratory on the basis of information supplied by submitters are given TI - RADIOCARBON DATES FROM THE OXFORD AMS SYSTEM: ARCHAEOMETRY DATELIST 16 JF - Archaeometry DO - 10.1111/j.1475-4754.1993.tb01030.x DA - 1993-02-01 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/wiley/radiocarbon-dates-from-the-oxford-ams-system-archaeometry-datelist-16-b8b0Q8db3e SP - 147 VL - 35 IS - 1 DP - DeepDyve ER -
