	abstract = {<p>A digital database of radiocarbon dates from Canadian archaeological and vertebrate paleontological sites addresses the need to correct some dates for the effects of isotopic fractionation. Such a correction, called normalization, was included by Stuiver and Polach (1977) in their definition of conventional age. The correction formulae proposed by Stuiver and Polach are evaluated in the light of approximately 800 measurements of delta 13C reported during the last two decades. The measurements provide good support for the formulae which are adopted, with minor modifications, to normalize ages in the Canadian database.</p>},
