The C14 dates presented here have been obtained by counting acetylene, synthesised from the sample, in an Oeschger-Houtermans’ gas proportional counter. The chemical and counting procedures have been described in some detail (Kusumgar et al., 1963a).

Dates are based on the C14 half-life value of 5568 yr. For conversion of b.p. dates to a.d./b.c. scale, a.d. 1950 has been taken as the reference yr. Ninety-five % activity of NBS oxalic acid has been adopted as the value for the pre-1900 age-corrected wood.

All samples were treated with dilute HCl. Whenever NaOH pretreatment was possible, it has been mentioned in the date list. In the case of bones, only the inorganic fraction has been dated.
