MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS AND AMS RADIOCARBON DATING AT SITE 42JB1207, UTAH
Author(s): Kathryn Puseman; Jaime Dexter
Year: 2005
Summary
While monitoring a trench for the installation of a fiber-optic line, Feature 1 was
identified within the boundaries of site 42JB1207, located in Fish Springs National Wildlife
Refuge, western Utah. This site contains both prehistoric and historic components. Feature 1
consists of a dark, charcoal stained lens and was visible on both walls of the trench. One
macrofloral sample was examined from the fill of Feature 1. Charcoal from the macrofloral
sample was identified and submitted for AMS radiocarbon analysis. Macrofloral and C14
analyses are used to provide information regarding plant resources available to prehistoric
occupants of the site, as well as to determine the age of the feature.
