Radiocarbon dating of limnic sediments: a comparative analysis and discussion

The authors present in this paper radiocarbon dates obtained by accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) (Kieser et al. 1986) from several different constituents of lake sediment and discuss the results in the light of common sources of old-carbon error.
