EXAMINATION OF BULK SOIL/DETRITAL CHARCOAL AND AMS RADIOCARBON AGE DETERMINATION OF MATERIAL FROM HOLOCENE TERRACES NEAR ISLAND PARK, IDAHO, AND WEST YELLOWSTONE, MONTANA

Author(s): Kathryn Puseman

Year: 2012

Summary

Two bulk soil samples and twenty-seven detrital charcoal samples collected along the

Henrys Fork River in northeast Idaho and southwest Montana were examined to recover

organic fragments suitable for radiocarbon age determination. These samples were recovered

from soil pits on Holocene terraces. Botanic components and detrital charcoal were identified,

and potentially radiocarbon datable material was separated. A total of eight samples were

processed for radiocarbon age determination.
