EXAMINATION OF BULK SOIL AND CHARCOAL FOR AMS RADIOCARBON DATING FOR THE JEDEDIAH SMITH CAMPGROUND PROJECT, SITE CA-DNO-332, CALIFORNIA

Author(s): Kathryn Puseman

Year: 2008

Summary

Charcoal and bulk soil samples were examined for the Jedediah Smith Campground

Project in Del Norte County, California. Nine charcoal samples were examined from prehistoric

site CA-DNO-332. One charcoal sample and two bulk soil samples were recovered from a

geomorphological area north of the site. Charcoal from the geomorphologic context will help

date local landforms. Charcoal samples from CA-DNO-332 were identified to provide

information concerning woods burned as fuel by the site occupants and to avoid dating

redwood (Sequoia sempervirens).
