AMS RADIOCARBON DATING OF SHELL FROM A BURIAL PIT AT SITE DcRu-4, VICTORIA, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA

A horse clam shell fragment recovered from a burial pit at site DcRu-4, British Columbia, was submitted for AMS radiocarbon dating. The shell fragment was originally part of two large shell halves that were nested and placed next to the interred individual of the burial feature. It is believed that the shell date will fall approximately withing the last 1500 years.

在不列颠哥伦比亚省DcRu-4遗址的墓葬坑中出土的一枚马蛤（Horse Clam）贝壳残片，已被送检用于加速器质谱仪放射性碳定年（Accelerator Mass Spectrometry radiocarbon dating，简称AMS）。该贝壳残片原本为两枚嵌套放置的大型贝壳半壳的组成部分，被摆放于该墓葬遗迹的下葬个体身旁。据推测，该贝壳的测年结果大致处于近1500年的时间范围内。
