The ages were obtained by averaging the Seattle and Belfast determinations on wood from the German (Seattle) and Irish (Belfast) oak chronologies. The average standard deviation for the bi-decadal data points in the figures is 15 14C yrs.

The father of radiocarbon dating came to realize this potential, and stated, in 1967, that "a phase is now being entered where radiocarbon dates are used to test the validity of the geophysical parameters involved" (Libby 1967: 17). We are well within this phase, as illustrated by the chapters in this section of Radiocarbon After Four Decades: An Interdisciplinary Perspective.

The radiocarbon ages were determined at Seattle and one of the following laboratories: Belfast (pearson et a11986, personal communication); Groningen (de long, Becker & Mook 1986); Heidelberg (Kromer et al 1986, adjusted to a 7177 BC zero point for the unified Donau 6-Main 4/11 German chronology); La lolla (Linick, Suess & Becker 1985, adjusted to same zero point as Heidelberg); Pretoria (Vogel, Fuls & Visser 1986, personal communication); and Tucson (Linick et aI1986).
