AMS RADIOCARBON DATING AND PHYTOLITH AND STARCH GRAIN ANALYSIS OF ORGANIC RESIDUE FROM A BESANT PHASE POTSHERD, MAINARD RANCH, 24LT505, MONTANA

Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings; Chad Yost

Year: 2011

Summary

A Besant phase potsherd with visible residue from site 24LT505 was submitted for AMS radiocarbon dating and phytolith and starch grain analysis.
