Late Pleistocene temperate deposits in Lincolnshire, England and their implication for the history of the River Trent system
Late Middle Pleistocene temperate and associated events in lowland England
The Bytham river reconsidered
Professor Sir Harry Godwin, F.R.S., 1901–1985 — a tribute
Glacial deposits in North-west Europe
The Pre-Glacial Pleistocene of the Norfolk and Suffolk Coasts
University of Cambridge Natural Radiocarbon Measurements XIV
The dates presented in this paper comprise results of determinations made at the University Radiocarbon Dating Research Laboratory, mostly during the latter half of 1974. Radioactivity was measured with proportional counters using pure carbon dioxide at 2 atmospheres pressure as filling gas. Effects of cosmic and local environmental radiation on the counters were reduced by surrounding them completely with 1) a plastic scintillator anticoincidenc…
University of Cambridge Natural Radiocarbon Measurements XIII
The dates presented here were calculated from measurements made at the University Radiocarbon Dating Research Laboratory mostly during 1973–74. The radioactivity of the samples was counted in gas proportional detectors, either silica lined (de Vries et al , 1959) or of pure copper, filled to 2 atmospheres pressure with pure carbon dioxide. The detectors were fixed in, and completely surrounded by, a plastic scintillator anticoincidence shield mou…
The Ice Age in Britain
University of Cambridge Natural Radiocarbon Measurements XI
The measurements presented in this paper were carried out at the University Radiocarbon Dating Research Laboratory during the second half of 1971 using carbon dioxide counting. The counting equipment used was substantially that described by Switsur, Hall, and West (1970). Oxidation of samples of sufficiently high carbon content was performed in a stainless steel high pressure combustion bomb, developed at this laboratory, otherwise by ‘wet’ oxida…
University of Cambridge Natural Radiocarbon Measurements XII
The dates presented here comprise results obtained since our last list (R., 1973, v. 15, p. 156-164). Pure carbon dioxide prepared from the samples is used to fill copper proportional counters at two atmospheres pressure. The detectors are protected from environmental radiation by a massive lead shield inside which, and completely surrounding the proportional counters, is a high efficiency plastic scintillation anticoincidence screen (Switsur, Ha…
The Ice Age in Britain
University of Cambridge Natural Radiocarbon Measurements X
Measurements reported in this paper were obtained in the Cambridge Radiocarbon Dating Laboratory during 1970–71. For most determinations, pure carbon dioxide at a pressure of 2 atm was used to fill the copper proportional counters, of 0.5 L or 1.5 L volume. The counters were protected by a massive lead shield and a plastic scintillation anticoincidence screen (Switsur, Hall, and West, 1970). Modern sample gas was obtained from the 1845 to 1855 gr…

Studies in the Vegetational History of the British Isles: Essays in Honour of Harry Godwin
University of Cambridge Natural Radiocarbon Measurements IX
The University of Cambridge Radiocarbon Dating Laboratory has been completely rebuilt and modernized, incorporating new techniques developed here for the various stages of measurements. Sample radioactivity is measured in gas proportional counters after conversion to highly purified CO 2 . Four counters are mounted within a single anticoincidence shield consisting of plastic scintillation material. This is surrounded by a graded cosmic ray shield…

The Quaternary Deposits at Hoxne, Suffolk, and their Archaeology
The long history of investigations at Hoxne, Suffolk, beginning when John Frere discovered Palaeolithic implements there in the last decade of the eighteenth century, has been described by Moir. Moir himself worked on the deposits at Hoxne, and the results of his investigations, together with those of Reid, have formed the basis for our knowledge of the geology and archaeology of the deposits. From these investigations it is clear that Hoxne is a…
