AMS RADIOCARBON DATING OF MATERIAL FROM SITE 5MN8269, MONTROSE COUNTY, COLORADO
Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings; Elizabeth Hickey; R.A. Varney
Year: 2008
Summary
One soil sample was submitted from a hearth at Site 5MN8269 in Montrose County,
Colorado for microcharcoal extraction and AMS dating. Microcharcoal extraction was chosen
for charcoal extraction because the sample contained an insufficient amount of visible charcoal.
Dating microscopic charcoal also produces a more accurate date than dating humates, which
are more mobile within sediments.
