Both beta counting and AMS results have to be corrected for fractionation. November Nature News. This result was uncalibrated, as the need for calibration of radiocarbon ages was not yet understood.

Libby and his team of scientists were able to publish a paper summarizing the first detection of radiocarbon in an organic sample. In , Thomas Higham and co-workers suggested that many of the dates published for Neanderthal artifacts are too recent because of contamination by "young carbon".
