14C-dating of samples collected during the 1979 expedition to North Greenland

Abstract

Thirty-two radiocarbon age determinations of bivalve shelIs (30), gyttja (1) and peat (1) are summarised below. All but two of the samples were collected during the GGU geological expedition to the Peary Land region. Two samples comprise contemporary shelIs from north and north-east Greenland, and were collected earlier. The samples have been dated at the Carbon-14 Dating Laboratory of the Geological Survey of Denmark and the National Museum, Copenhagen (samples marked K, by courtesy of the Geological Survey of Denmark), the C-14 Laboratory at the Department of Quatemary Geology, University of Lund, Sweden (samples marked Lu, by courtesy of the laboratory and the Department of Quatemary Geology, University of Lund), and the Harwell Carbon 14/Tritium Laboratory, AERE, England (samples marked HAR).
