EXAMINATION OF BULK SEDIMENT SAMPLES, MICROCHARCOAL EXTRACTION, AND AMS RADIOCARBON ANALYSIS OF COLLUVIUM FROM TRENCH 5 AT THE LOS ANGELES RESERVOIR ULTRA VIOLET TREATMENT FACILITY, CALIFORNIA

Author(s): Kathryn Puseman; Linda Scott Cummings

Year: 2012

Summary

A total of three bulk soil samples were collected from colluvium in Trench 5 at the Los Angeles Reservoir Ultra Violet Treatment Facility in southern California. These samples were examined for the presence of charred organic material suitable for AMS radiocarbon dating. In the absence of larger-sized charred remains, two of the samples were extracted to recover microscopic charcoal for dating. Two AMS radiocarbon dates were obtained for microscopic charcoal extracted from these sediments.
