MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS OF BULK SOIL FROM THE SOUTH FORK OGDEN RIVER AND THE OGDEN RIVER, UTAH

Summary

Fifteen bulk soil samples from the South Fork Ogden River and the Ogden

River in northern Utah were examined for charcoal and other macrofloral remains.

These samples were recovered from Holocene floodplain sediments. Samples were

floated to recover charcoal and other potentially radiocarbon datable material.

Representative pieces of charcoal were pulled and sent to Spectrum Petrographics

for thin-section slides of the charcoal cross-sections. These pieces were pulled

from groups of identified charcoal sent for radiocarbon dating. The thin-section

slides were photographed to provide documentation for radiocarbon dated charcoal.
