IDENTIFICATION AND AMS RADIOCARBON DATING OF CHARCOAL FROM SITE 41HY160, TEXAS

Author(s): Kathryn Puseman

Year: 2010

Summary

A total of 14 charcoal samples from site 41HY160 in central Texas were submitted for identification and AMS radiocarbon dating. These samples were collected from a contiguous block excavation adjacent to a spring that forms the headwaters of the San Marcos River. Identification of charcoal provides information concerning trees and shrubs burned as fuel by the site occupants and allows for selection of the shortest-lived taxa for radiocarbon dating.
