EXAMINATION OF BULK SOIL/DETRITAL CHARCOAL AND AMS RADIOCARBON ANALYSIS OF MATERIAL FROM ALONG THE UNCOMPAHGRE RIVER NEAR RIDGWAY, COLORADO

Author(s): Kathryn Puseman

Year: 2005

Summary

A total of nine bulk soil/detrital charcoal samples from along the Uncompahgre River

near Ridgway, Colorado, were floated to recover organic fragments suitable for radiocarbon

analysis. These samples were recovered from a sequence of four to five terraces above the

river. Botanic components and detrital charcoal were identified and potentially radiocarbon

datable material was separated. Charred material from three of the samples were AMS

radiocarbon dated, yielding conventional radiocarbon ages of 90 ± 15 BP (UR2-1), 510 ± 15 BP

(UR2-2), and 14,860 ± 35 BP (UR4-2).
