EXAMINATION OF BULK SOIL FOR RADIOCARBON DATABLE MATERIAL FROM TRENCHES ACROSS ACTIVE FAULTS IN NORTHEASTERN NEVADA

Author(s): Kathryn Puseman

Year: 2001

Summary

A total of nine bulk soil samples recovered from sediments exposed in trenches excavated

across active faults in northeastern Nevada were floated to recover organic fragments suitable for

radiocarbon analysis. Radiocarbon ages would be used to place quantitative bounds on the ages

of prehistoric earthquakes that have occurred along the faults. Botanic components and detrital

charcoal were identified, and potentially radiocarbon datable material was separated.
