Author(s): Kathryn Puseman; Chad Yost

Year: 2010

Summary

A total of 845 samples from the Yellow House System, Post Ranch, and Stanton Ranch near Lubbock, Texas, were submitted for identification. These samples consisted mostly of charcoal, wood, and botanic remains. In addition, five charcoal samples were submitted from the San Jon Research Area near San Jon, New Mexico. Samples were recovered from geologic strata at the Yellow House System and from cultural features contained within the strata, while the Post and Stanton Ranches are noted to have considerable aeolian deposits with no defined stratigraphic framework. Samples were collected from the surface and from hearth features at these sites. Archaeological material from the San Jon research area is

associated with late Quaternary sediments filling a younger playa cut into an older, larger basin. Samples were recovered from a hearth and a stratum.
