RE: Radiocarbon Dating Results For Samples Tesorodorado 1, Tesorodorado 2, Tesorodorado 3

Dear Mr. Rodriguez:

Enclosed are the radiocarbon dating results for three samples recently sent to us. They each
provided plenty of carbon for accurate measurements and all the analyses proceeded normally. The report
sheet contains the dating result, method used, material type, applied pretreatment and two-sigma calendar
calibration result (where applicable) for each sample.

This report has been both mailed and sent electronically, along with a separate publication quality
calendar calibration page. This is useful for incorporating directly into your reports. It is also digitally
available in Windows metafile (.wmf) format upon request. Calibrations are calculated using the newest
(1998) calibration database. References are quoted on the bottom of each calibration page. Multiple
probability ranges may appear in some cases, due to short-term variations in the atmospheric 14C
contents at certain time periods. Examining the calibration graphs will help you understand this
phenomenon. Calibrations may not be included with all analyses. The upper limit is about 20,000 years,
the lower limit is about 250 years and some material types are not suitable for calibration (e.g. water).

We analyzed these samples on a sole priority basis. No students or intern researchers who would
necessarily be distracted with other obligations and priorities were used in the analyses. We analyzed
them with the combined attention of our entire professional staff.

Information pages are enclosed with the mailed copy of this report. They should answer most of
questions you may have. If they do not, or if you have specific questions about the analyses, please do
not hesitate to contact us. Someone is always available to answer your questions.

The cost of the analysis was charged to the VISA card provided. A receipt is enclosed. Thank
you. As always, if you have any questions or would like to discuss the results, don’t hesitate to contact
me.
Sincerely,
