The counting technique is based on gas counting of CO2 in proportional counters at 2 atmospheres pressure. In addition to the 6 previous counters, with effec- tive volumes ranging between 0.6L and 1.6L (R, 1978, v 20, p 105-133), two very small counters have been put into operation. These counters, effectively based on 0.2L and 0.1 L CO2, have backgrounds of 0.10 and 0.12 c/min and standard net count of 1.29 c/min and 0.69 c/min, respec- tively. Chemical treatment of samples largely follows our earlier procedure. For gyttja samples, we tend to date the soluble and insoluble fractions sepa- rately. The date is only regarded satisfactory when agreement in age occurs between the two fractions. Dating of very old shells (>30,000 yr) has gener- ally been performed on outer and inner fractions of the sample.
