Abstract
Lists in tabular form the radiocarbon dates of 28 samples of organic materials taken from the Barrow peninsula and spit (Pleistocene Gubik formation); 26 consist of peat, driftwood, etc, and two are artifacts. From these a detailed geomorphic and cryopedological chronology of the area is attempted. The highly polygonized tundra areas are judged to be less than 8300 yr old. Much of the older peat has been reworked. The artifacts are from the second millenium AD. A correction is made in Arctic, v 18, no 2, p 122.
