| Abstract: | The formulas for correcting 14C measurements are explained. The expected ranges of the δ13C values for some types of samples are given. It is pointed out that the corrections are approximate because of the choice of correction formula, and that all samples arc normalized to wood samples instead of to carbon dioxide of the air. Some results from the Uppsala laboratory for plant materials and carbonates are given. |
