The Value of 210Pb in Dating Scandinavian Aquatic and Peat DepositsSediment and peat chronologies have been further improved allowing alternative radiometric methods to complement 14C dating. Lacustrine and coastal marine sediments as well as peat deposits in various parts in Scandinavia are studied using 137Cs, 210Pb, 14C and other methods primarily to evaluate the 210Pb but also to extend the 14C chronology. The sampling sites have various sources of input and are characterized by different geochemical, depositional, and post-depositional conditions.

Using dBASE II for Retrieval of Radiocarbon DataA "C14" data base has been created for internal use of 14C dates with an Osborne-1 system. It uses a CP/M operating system, Z-80 CPU, and dBASE II software program. The structure meets the users' requirements of information and easy retrieval. The video display is quite compact, as a record of 32 fields is edited to fill a screen of 22 lines. A standard printout is edited to make room for two records per page and contains all information from these records. Searching may take place in all fields or parts of fields, in interval(s) in one or more fields and in various combinations of the prescribed methods of searching. A field called KEYWORDS is established to ease search operations. "C14" may be adapted to individual requirements and equipment with small adjustments
