This grant provides funds which permit the equipment from the now               defunct Smithsonian Institution Radiocarbon Laboratory (SIRL) to                be transferred to the University of Pittsburgh. With university                 support it will be operated under the direction of Dr. Robert                   Stuckenrath, the former Smithsonian director.                                                                                                                   Over many years Dr. Stuckenrath and the SIRL have analyzed many                 archaeological samples and these dates have made a major                        contribution to the increase of anthropological knowledge. In                   1986 the Smithsonian announced the closing of its Environmental                 Research Center of which the radiocarbon laboratory was a part                  and this, in effect put the SIRL out of business. Transfer of the               laboratory to Pittsburgh will allow tits service to the                         discipline to continue and therefore funds should be provided.
