本文论述了我国放射性碳年代学的发展及其贡献。文中列举了旧石器时代晚期和新石器时代的一些例子，描述了各种早期文化的年代，从裴李岗、大地湾和磁山文化开始，这些文化的年代早于仰韶时期。本文讨论了华南石灰岩地区的放射性碳测年异常。它的结论是，这些是由死碳结合活的有机体，不应该被解释为建议一个非常早期的新石器时代。放射性碳年代测定不能轻易地与传说联系起来，例如夏朝的传说：需要更好的考古证据来验证这些传统。
Abstract The paper discusses radiocarbon chronology in China, and the contributions of the technique. Examples are given from the late Palaeolithic, and from the Neolithic, where the dating of various early cultures is described, starting with the Peiligang, Dadiwan and Cishan, which antedate the Yangshao phase. Anomalous radiocarbon dates are discussed from the limestone region of south China. It is concluded that these are caused by dead carbon incorporated by living organisms, and should not be interpreted as suggesting a very early Neolithic. Radiocarbon dates cannot easily be linked with legends, for example of the Xia dynasty: better archaeological evidence is needed for verifying such traditions.
