Abstract
We describe a new methodology for separating organic temper from archaeolog ical ceramics from Brazilian Amazonia. These experimental procedures were d esigned to directly date ceramic samples by accelerator mass spectrometry ( AMS). An evaluation of the total carbon indicates the samples' potential fo r dating.
