Re: Radio carboned dss
Dear Lechem,
I was interested in the range of dates between the dss, not the fact that
they were all early or late. I was also wondering of relationships between
dates and types of document or location of document, so I was fishing for
general reactions.
Thanks,
Ian Hutchesson
