Summary

Eighteen charcoal samples from sites CA-SAC-15, CA-SAC-485, CA-SAC-1112, and CA-SAC-1142 were submitted for identification.

The earliest dates of 7470 and 3700 cal BP are from site CA-SAC-1142, while the most recent dates from site CA-SAC-15 reflect occupation of the area just prior to, during, and after the Medieval Climatic Anomaly (Medieval Warm Period).
