C14 dating of survey material carried out in 1977

Abstract

Fourty-two radiocarbon age determinations of shell samples (27), wood (2) and gyttja (13) from North-West, North, East, and South Greenland are summarised below. All the material was collected during GGU field work in recent years. The samples have been dated by the Geological Survey of Canada, Ottawa (marked GSC), Isotopes Inc., Westwood, New Jersey, USA (marked I) and the Carbon-14 Dating Laboratory of the Geological Survey of Denmark and the National Museum, Copenhagen (marked K). The samples in North-West, South and East Greenland are located by the coordinates from the Danish Geodetic Institute maps; in North Greenland coordinates are from the U.S.A.F.
