A bibliography of radiocarbon dating.

Abstract

Approximately 375 references are listed alphabetically by author under 6 main headings: 1) lists of dates; 2) the method: techniques and geochemistry; 3) the method: explanatory essays; 4) interpretation: selected geologic titles; 5) interpretation: selected archeologic titles; 6) bibliographies and reports on conferences. In the first section, in addition to formal lists of dates are titles reporting dates not yet published in a list. The primary heading is "method." Under this heading have been entered titles of articles which contributed to the development and recent ramifications of the the method, including analyses of cosmic ray flux, the carbon dioxide cycle, phenomena related to atomic bomb explosions, discussions of instrumentation, etc. An attempt has been made in this bibliography to provide a significant title for every area which has been the subject of chronological study; also titles which represent different types of discussion or ideas concerning the manner in which dates may be employed.
