In this paper are reported C14 dates of archaeologic samples from the Neolithic, Harappan and Early Historic sites of India. C14 activity was counted in an Oeschger-Houtermans’ gas proportional counter. The counting gas, acetylene, was synthesized using the technique described earlier (Kusumgar and others, 1963). The dates presented here are based on 5568 yr for the half-life of C14. The conversion to A.D./B.C. scale has been made using a.d. 1950 as the reference year.
