The Effects of Possible Contamination on the Radiocarbon Dating of the Dead Sea Scrolls I: Castor Oil
Kaare Lund Rasmussen, Johannes van der Plicht, Frederick H. Cryer et al., 2001. Radiocarbon 43(1), 127-132.
Experiments showing that the acid-alkali-acid pretreatment used in the 1992 and 1995 series did not remove all castor oil applied to fragments in the 1950s, so some published dates may be too young.
What it's used for here
The main known bias in the earlier radiocarbon dates.
