Four site locations were investigated as part of the Lost Creek Dam Paleoflood Study, Weber Basin, Utah. Twenty-five detrital charcoal samples collected from sites LC3, LC4, LC5, and LC6 were submitted for recovery and identification of charred organic fragments suitable for AMS radiocarbon age determination. Subsequent to identification, seven samples were selected for AMS radiocarbon dating.

A total of seven bulk samples of organic material from black mat deposits in the Upper Las Vegas Wash, Nevada, were floated to recover organic fragments suitable for radiocarbon analysis. The black mat deposits are associated with late Pleistocene paleo-spring sediments. Botanic components and detrital charcoal were identified, and potentially radiocarbon datable material was separated. A single charcoal sample also was submitted for identification.

Three samples from along Sand Creek in east-central Arizona were examined to recover organic fragments suitable for radiocarbon dating. These samples were recovered from Holocene alluvium about two miles downstream of Cyclone Dam. Botanic components and detrital charcoal were identified, and potentially radiocarbon datable material was separated; however, no radiocarbon dates were obtained from this material.

A single detrital wood sample and a charred botanic sample were submitted for identification. These samples were recovered from a pair of low stream terraces along Trapped Rock Draw, immediately downstream of Trapped Rock Dam in western New Mexico. Botanic components were identified, and potentially radiocarbon datable material was separated; however, no AMS radiocarbon dates were obtained from these samples.

Six samples from a core collected in a closed depression along the San Andreas fault on the north flank of Frazier Mountain were selected for pollen analysis to examine the paleoenvironmental record. In addition, quantities of microscopic charcoal smaller than 250 microns were tabulated to provide preliminary information on fire history.

A single bison bone sample, one probable bison bone sample, and five charcoal samples from cultural features at sites 21BE5, 21BE36, 21OT36, and 21TR5, Minnesota, were submitted for identification and AMS radiocarbon dating. Identification of charcoal provides information concerning types of wood burned in the features. A probable bison bone from a hearth at site 21TR5 (Browns Valley Site) is affiliated with the Great Oasis Phase of the Late Prehistoric Period (AD 900-1200), while two charcoal...

Two groups of charcoal/botanic samples from the Early Horizon site of Caylán (PV31-30), on the north-central coast of Peru, were submitted for identification and AMS radiocarbon dating. Previous radiocarbon dates obtained from this site yielded two-sigma calibrated ages ranging between 800 BC and AD 20, reflecting occupation during the Early Horizon period. The first submission consisted of ten samples. Radiocarbon dates in Submission 1 were obtained from two charred maize cob fragments, two...

Six charcoal and botanic samples were submitted for identification and AMS radiocarbon dating. These sample were recovered from features in the Tranquil Rockshelter (site 41BS1513) in Brewster County, Texas. Samples were recovered from the fill of three pits, a feature remnant, and a lenticular deposit of ash that might represent a structural floor deposit.

Four charcoal samples and two charred botanic samples were recovered from two cores in Unit K at Perkáta – Nyúli-dulo, Hungary. This site is a Bronze Age fortified settlement with a cultural layer spanning 0.80-1.50 m in depth that shows evidence of continuous occupation. Samples were recovered from lower, middle, and upper levels of the cultural layer noted in each of the two cores. These samples were submitted for identification and AMS radiocarbon dating to determine timing and length of...

Charcoal samples from the Genevieve Lykes Duncan Site, 41BS2615, were submitted for identification and AMS radiocarbon dating. This site is a buried, open campsite located in Brewster County, Texas, and includes three locales. This area experienced multiple occupations including Paleoindian, Early Archaic, and Middle Archaic. Charcoal was recovered from features exposed in the vertical cut bank of an unnamed arroyo running generally northeast to southwest at this site. Identification of charcoal...

A total of six samples from geologic trenches at the 7 Lagos Project in Valdivia, Chile, were examined to recover charcoal or other organic fragments suitable for radiocarbon dating. Botanic components and detrital charcoal were identified, and potentially radiocarbon datable material was separated. One sample consisted of uncharred wood that did not survive the chemical pre-treatment for dating, while one of the samples did not contain any charred material. A total of four AMS radiocarbon...

Charcoal from the fill of a small hearth at the Perdiz Trail Site (02-269) was submitted for identification and AMS radiocarbon dating. This small site is located in Brewster County, Texas. It contains small hearths and associated lithic artifacts and is believed to have been occupied for a short amount of time during the Late Prehistoric Cielo Complex, around AD 1300-1700. Identification of charcoal will identify types of wood burned as fuel in this hearth and the best possible material for...

Charcoal from the fill of a hearth at site 5AH3217 in northeast Colorado was submitted for identification and AMS radiocarbon dating. This hearth is believed to date around 4400 years BP. Identification of charcoal will provide information concerning wood burned as fuel in the hearth and allows for selection of material with the shortest life span for dating.

Twelve charcoal samples from six features were submitted for identification and AMS radiocarbon dating. These features represent oblong roasting pits/thermal features at site CA-RIV-9086 in Riverside County, California, and consist of fire-affected rocks in a lens of dark sediment. Native Cahuilla are known to have used and roasted agave, and it is possible these features were used for roasting agave. Twelve radiocarbon dates were obtained.
