 I work in the Radiocarbon Dating Laboratory at the University of Waikato. I have developed a number of internet Web pages beginning in 1994 with pages for the laboratory, and then with Radiocarbon WEB-info, designed to coordinate information on the WWW that is more detailed and to which we can point submitters of radiocarbon material who want more information on specifics.
