EXAMINATION OF BULK SOIL AND CHARCOAL AND AMS RADIOCARBON ANALYSIS OF MATERIAL FROM THE PARADOX VALLEY, COLORADO

Summary

Three sediment samples from the Paradox Valley, Colorado, were floated to recover

organic fragments suitable for radiocarbon analysis. Two botanic samples also were submitted

for identification and radiocarbon dating. These samples were recovered from trenches for a

geologic study to determine if the area contains active faults. Botanic components and detrital

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

four samples were processed for AMS radiocarbon dating.
