DOCUMENT Full-Text Kathryn Puseman.

One charcoal sample and one botanic sample from the fill of an earth oven at site CASDI-7073 in southern California were submitted for identification. This site is a prehistoric artifact scatter and earth oven in the area historically occupied by the Kumeyaay. The uncharred botanic sample most likely reflects modern plants in the area, while identification of charcoal provides information about woods burned as fuel by the prehistoric occupants of the site.
