Carbon Dating Question

[Gravelbar32]

I have a piece of bone the size of a silver dollar that I recently found with all of the flakestone knives on my bluff site. I assume it is suitable for dating. Has anybody out there submitted samples to a lab? Any recommendations?

This site recommended previous threads by you folks on this subject that answered some of my questions, after I posted this. But feel free to update your recommendations. If only I could find a point base or some pottery! Nothing but blades bone and rock so far.

I’ve never submitted samples, but there are quite a few labs to choose from....

When Iowa st. was digging the clary bison site10-12 years ago, it was around $500 per and than not just one but, trying to recall, 3 samples each, sent out to, 2 different labs. Nuclear science is expensive.
I’ve gone threw the same wonder about wanting something aged but after a lot of reading and trying to understand better all the ,BCs and BPs and there has been enough done by others to satisfy my curiosity.

Thanks Charl! I think I will be using one of these. Prices aren't cheap but not too bad if the results are indeed accurate.
