IDENTIFICATION OF CHARCOAL AND AMS RADIOCARBON DATING OF CHARCOAL AND MICROCHARCOAL SAMPLES FROM SITE BRU FOR THE KERN CANYON FAULT STUDY, CALIFORNIA

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

Year: 2009

Summary

Samples from colluvium at site BRU for the Kern Canyon Fault Study in Kern County, California, were examined to recover charred material suitable for AMS radiocarbon dating. Charcoal fragments in 14 samples from BRU were identified, and combined with microcharcoal for AMS radiocarbon dating. A total of 11 AMS radiocarbon dates were obtained.
