C14 dating of Survey material carried out in 1975

Abstract

Sixty-six radiocarbon age determinations of shell samples (63) and gyttja (3) from North-West, West, North-East and East Greenland are summarised below. All the material was collected during GGU field work except shells Lu-930 from Store Koldewey, North-East Greenland which came from the Danmark Expedition of 1906-1908. Collections of Quaternary material from this expedition have been recently kindly donated to GGU by the Zoological Museum, University of Copenhagen. The samples have been dated at Isotopes Inc., Westwood, New Jersey, U.S.A. by J. Buckley (marked I), at the Carbon-14 Dating Laboratory of the Geological Survey of Denmark and the National Museum, Copenhagen by H. Tauber (marked K), at the Radiocarbon Dating Laboratory, Department of Quaternary Geology, University of Lund, Sweden (marked Lu) and at the Carbon-14 Dating Laboratory of the University of Helsinki, Finland by H. Jungner (marked Hel). The Finnish and Swedish data have been published earlier by Donner & Jungner (1975) and Håkansson (1975) respectively. The samples are Iocated by coordinates taken from the Danish Geodetic Institute 1:250 000 map series.
