EXAMINATION OF BULK SOIL AND DETRITAL CHARCOAL FOR RADIOCARBON DATABLE MATERIAL FROM NAMBE FALLS AND EL VADO, NEW MEXICO

Summary

Seven bulk soil samples and one detrital charcoal sample from along the Rio Chama and

Rio Nambe rivers in northern New Mexico were examined to recover organic fragments suitable

for radiocarbon dating. One sample was recovered from below the Nambe Falls Dam along the

Rio Nambe River, and seven samples were collected below the EI Vado Dam along the Rio

Chama River. Botanic components and detrital charcoal were identified, and potentially

radiocarbon datable material was separated.
