ORGANIC RESIDUE ANALYSIS (FTIR), CHARCOAL IDENTIFICATION, AND AMS RADIOCARBON DATING OF SAMPLES FROM THE ALM SHELTER, 48BH3457, WYOMING

Author(s): Melissa K. Logan; Kathryn Puseman

Year: 2010

Summary

Sediment samples from the Alm Shelter (site 48BH3457) in Paint Rock Creek Canyon, northern Wyoming, were examined for organic residues using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). These samples were recovered from hearths in varying levels of the shelter. In addition, uncharred grass stems and two charcoal samples from the shelter weresubmitted for AMS radiocarbon dating.
