Abstract

Presents the method used to convert to radiocarbon ages (<sup>14</sup>C/<sup>13</sup>C) ratios measured in the Arizona Accelerator Mass Spectrometer facility. Describes the procedures used to convert sample and standard isotope ratios to values appropriate for calculation of radiocarbon ages. Also discusses, in some detail, corrections to account for sample contamination.
