Abstract

Determination of the age of the corals that make up Keraton Buton Fort based on 14C activity using the LSC (Liquid Scintillation Counting) method has been carried out. The coral samples analyzed were the corals that made up the fort taken from the gate of Keraton Buton Fort and a coral sample from the beach of Makassar Island Baubau, asmodern coral. Sample preparation was carried out physically and chemically using a mixture of NaOH with 30% H2O2, followed by a mixture of HClO4with 30% H2O2, and finally with 5% HCl solution to produce a clean and whiter-looking sample with a weight reduction of 10.5% -15.8%. The carbonate of coral samples was separated as CO2by reaction with 10% HCl and absorption by KOH 1 N solution as K2CO3. The total carbon in the two fort coral sample and modern coral was 0.129, 0.132, and 0.129 grams, respectively, and was obtained through the titration method. The specific activity of 14C in the samples was 13.95 DPM/gC and 14.38 DPM/gC in both fort coral samples, and 15.48DPM/gC in modern coral. The age of the coral samples of Keraton Buton Fort calculated fromthe 14C specific activity data was between 817 ± 0.123 and 565 ± 0.105 years, which is older than the ages of the Keraton Buton Fort according to the historical reviews.
