We present a proposal for a further intercomparison exercise following discussions at the 16th International Radiocarbon Conference in Groningen in 1997. This new intercomparison will build on previous exercises by making use of both reference materials already characterized and additional known-age material. For this comparison, we describe two separate but essentially related protocols that are meant to satisfy the different priorities of radiometric and AMS laboratories. The new intercomparison is planned to begin in mid-1998.
