The Results of Definition of Absolute Age of Samples in Radio-Carbon Laboratory of Permafrost Research Institute of the Siberian Branch of the RAS

Abstract

The paper represents main stages of the development of Laboratory of carbon dating established in the Permafrost Institute SB RAS, which work is based on the classical method of liquid scintillation analysis using a spectrometer-radiometer Quantulus 1220. In 2014 Radiocarbon Laboratory initiated creation of an electronic database of radiocarbon dating standards, in which the authors (collectors) of the samples are named, as well as the precise coordinates of the sampling. This article presents a list of 32 dates performed in 2014. A brief description of the individual and unique dates and sections that play an important role for the understanding of Late Pleistocene and Holocene natural history of Yakutia.
