The C14 measurements reported here were madein this laboratory between November 15, 1965 andJune 15, 1966. Sample descriptions are classified asfollows:

1. I. GeochemicalSamples

2. II. Geologic-PaleoclimaticSamples

3. III. EarlyMan-Alluvial StratigraphySamples

4. IV. ArchaeologicSamples

The Radiocarbon Dating Laboratory is installed in theDepartment of Geophysics and Geochemistry, Instituteof Advanced Studies of the Australian NationalUniversity. The Australian Institute of AboriginalStudies has materially aided the establishment ofthe laboratory and is allocated a major proportionof the dating time over the next three years forsamples in Australian Aboriginal archaeology. Beyondthis the laboratory is to serve research needswithin the University. To facilitate communicationbetween collectors and laboratory a handbook oncollection of specimens and interpretation ofresults has been prepared (Polach and Golson, 1966)and a radiocarbon sample record and an agedetermination sheet are in use.

This date list consists of some of the samples measuredsince summer 1965. For the routine measurements thesame technique and equipment as described earlierwas used (Bern IV).

A radiocarbon laboratory has been set up to assist withthe Pleistocene research undertaken in the GeologyDepartment at Birmingham and has been designed forthe measurement of ages of geological material up toat least 50,000 yr old. Construction began in May,1965 and routine dating commenced in October, 1966.This is carried out using a CH4proportional counter.

This list is a compilation of samples dated sinceSeptember, 1965. It includes a continuation ofseveral series begun in FSU I as well as new seriesundertaken since that time.

This list of dates is a continuation of Gakushuin V.Instruments and techniques are essentially the sameas those used for Gakushuin III, IV and V.

This list contains dates related to the chronology ofthe last glaciation in Europe. Since several of theolder results which already have appeared in printneed correction or re-interpretation it wasconsidered necessary to incorporate as many of themas possible into this list. Notably the datespublished by de Vries (1958) are included here andreconsidered in the light of our presentunderstanding of the climatic succession. It isnoteworthy that, although the interpretation mayhave changed slightly, most of those measurementsare still as valid today as they were eight yearsago.

In late 1962 the old radiocarbon laboratory inGroningen was demolished and new dating equipmentwas erected in an underground cellar specially builtfor the purpose.

Both the 2-L counter, described in GSC I, and the 5-Lcounter (GSC IV) were operated routinely during thepast year. Approximately half of the determinationsreported here were obtained from each counter. The5-L counter was operated mainly at 1 atm.

This date list covers a selection of C14results of archaeologic, hydrologic and speleologicsamples that have been investigated in the periodfrom March 1963 until July 1966. Dates of geologicsamples will be presented in the following list.
