IDENTIFICATION AND AMS RADIOCARBON DATING OF CHARCOAL FROM LEAD CARIBOU RIDGE, SITE GUL-370, TANGLE LAKES ARCHAEOLOGICAL DISTRICT, ALASKA
Author(s): Kathryn Puseman
Year: 2008
Summary
Charcoal recovered from an eroding hearth at Lead Caribou Ridge, site GUL-370, was
submitted for identification and AMS radiocarbon dating. This site is located in the southern
portion of the Tangle Lakes Archaeological District of south-central Alaska. A Northern Archaic
projectile point base was found five meters away from the hearth, suggesting an occupation
around 5,000 to 3,500 BP. Charcoal from the hearth will be identified to determine types of
wood burned as fuel by the prehistoric site occupants, then AMS radiocarbon dated to verify
time of site occupation.
