The following list shows the age measurements made at Algiers by the Service des Applications Nucléaires using the C14 method. The laboratory was created in 1965 to answer the increasing demand of the archaeologic research in N Africa, and made its first measurements in 1967. The electronic apparatus employed was completed and calibrated in 1968 and the first tests were performed during the same year. Regular dating-test samples started in June, 1968. The electronic circuits are of commercial origin or made in the C14 Laboratory.
