IDENTIFICATION AND AMS RADIOCARBON DATING OF CHARCOAL FROM THE YAMASHITE-2 SITE, 26CK6445, NEVADA

Author(s): Kathryn Puseman

Year: 2010

Summary

Charcoal from a burned stick in a layer of adobe rubble overlying the floor of a habitation room at the Yamashita-2 site, 26CK6445, was submitted for identification and AMS radiocarbon dating. The Yamashita Sites are situated in the lower Moapa Valley of Clark County, Nevada, and consist of masonry structures. Previous radiocarbon analysis of charcoal from a burned post base at nearby site 26CK6444 and identified as Populus (cottonwood) yielded a radiocarbon age of A.D. 125-338.
