IDENTIFICATION AND AMS RADIOCARBON DATING OF CHARCOAL FROM FOUR FEATURES AT THE VALLEY OF THE SHIELDS, SITE 24CB1094, MONTANA

Author(s): Kathryn Puseman; R.A. Varney

Year: 2008

Summary

Charcoal samples from four hearths at Valley of the Shields, site 24CB1094, in southcentral

Montana were submitted for identification. The hearths represent shallow, heavily

oxidized basins located immediately below a large panel of Castle Garden Style shield-bearing

warriors. Unidentified charcoal from hearths in the same cultural level have previously yielded

ages 950 ± 80 and 870 ± 80 RCYBP. Charcoal representing the shortest-lived taxon from each

of the hearths was selected for AMS radiocarbon dating.
