B.C. ping

Just adding this to the GGG catalog, not sending a general distribution, as we've had a similar topic.

I think Drammach may right about the 1950 baseline for B.P. in RC dating. Rings a bell anyway. Bibby pioneered his method of RC dating about 1950.

To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list. Thanks.

Please FREEPMAIL me if you want on or off the
Gods, Graves, Glyphs PING list or GGG weekly digest
-- Archaeology/Anthropology/Ancient Cultures/Artifacts/Antiquities, etc.
Gods, Graves, Glyphs (alpha order)
