Abstract

We have developed and tested a practical device for manually separating pollen from pollen concentrates in sufficient quantity for AMS ¹⁴C dating. It is a combination of standard, commercially available equipment handled in a clean room by an individual trained to recognize pollen. A typical example requires about 15-20 h of hand-picking under the microscope. We show the usefulness of this procedure with results on a mid-Holocene segment from a core from Mono Lake. -from Authors
