EXAMINATION OF DETRITAL CHARCOAL AND AMS RADIOCARBON ANALYSIS OF MATERIAL FROM ALONG RED WILLOW CREEK, NEBRASKA

Author(s): Kathryn Puseman

Year: 2010

Summary

A total of 29 samples were examined for the presence of organic material suitable for radiocarbon analysis. These samples were recovered from four natural bank exposures along Red Willow Creek downstream of Red Willow Dam in southwest Nebraska. Botanic components and detrital charcoal were identified, and potentially radiocarbon datable material was separated. A total of 13 radiocarbon dates were obtained from charcoal and wood fragments to help establish the chronology of Holocene alluvium and floods along Red Willow Creek in this area.
