Evaluating the Radiocarbon Reservoir Effect in Lake Kutubu, Papua New Guinea

The Lake Kutubu Project was funded by the Department of Archaeology and Natural History and the Radiocarbon Laboratory at the ANU. Lead-210 analyses were funded by the Australian Institute for Nuclear Science and Engineering (AINSE) grants AINGRA08028 and AINGRA10113 obtained by S.G.H. We thank Quan Hua for his insightful help on the reservoir calculations and suggestions to improve this manuscript and Ana Claudia Catelan for helping the production of the PNG limestone map. We thank the local Foe-Fasu landowners, WWF (Moro Office, PNG) and Oil Search, Limited (Moro) for assistance in the field. L.S. was financed by a postdoctoral fellowship funded by the ANU.
