DOCUMENT
Full-Text
A total of 10 bulk soil samples from the Mapleton megatrench site on the Provo segment of the Wasatch fault zone, Utah, were floated to recover organic fragments suitable for radiocarbon analysis. One sample was collected from the trench, while the remaining nine samples were recovered from Boreholes B1 and B2. Botanic components and detrital charcoal were identified, and potentially radiocarbon datable material was separated.
