A new facility for accelerator mass spectrometry radiocarbon dating has been put in operation at the University of Lecce in southern Italy. The general features of the facility are described, showing how by the use of electrostatic andmagnetic analyzers the radiocarbon content in several kinds of sample materials can be measured. The performances of the system are also given in terms of precision, accuracy and background. The results of the radiocarbon dating of two prehistoric sites are also reported.

Abstract
A new facility for accelerator mass spectrometry radiocarbon dating has been put in operation at the University of Lecce in southern Italy.
