A total of 18 charcoal samples from soil pits were examined for the presence of charcoal or other organic fragments suitable for radiocarbon analysis. These samples were collected as part of a paleoflood study of Mann Creek in western Idaho. Botanic components and detrital charcoal fragments were identified, and potentially radiocarbon datable material was separated. A total of seven AMS radiocarbon dates were obtained.
