EXAMINATION OF DETRITAL CHARCOAL, POLLEN ANALYSIS, AND AMS RADIOCARBON DATING OF MATERIAL FROM EAGLE CREEK RANCH IN THE TRINITY RIVER BASIN, CALIFORNIA

Author(s): Kathryn Puseman; Linda Scott Cummings

Year: 2007

Summary

Soil samples from Eagle Creek Ranch in northern California were water-screened to

recover organic fragments suitable for radiocarbon analysis. These samples were derived from

stream deposits in four sites along the Trinity River. Botanic components and detrital charcoal

were identified, and potentially radiocarbon datable material was separated. A total of seven

samples were processed for AMS radiocarbon dating. In addition, six pollen samples were

examined from a column in a soil pit located in an apple and pear orchard dating to the 1850's.
