Alaska Radiocarbon Data Base; USGS, Menlo Park

This data base contains published radiocarbon dates with entries consisting of
laboratory and reference numbers. The data set is subdivided into two segments
including RCFILE which contains the radiocarbon dates and author citation; and
RCBIB which is a complete bibliography of all published dates. The RCFILE can
be sorted by date, author citation, latitude and longitude, geographic region,
and quadrangle. The RCFILE is run using the software program 'Nutshell.' The
combined size of the two files is 1,092,908 bytes. There are 3,609 radiocarbon
age determinations (published ages with a reference). The following is a
breakdown of the number of age determinations by geographic region: Northern
997, East-Central 417, West-Central 332, Southern 769, Southwestern 603,
Southeastern 448, Offshore 35, and General 8.
