IDENTIFICATION OF CHARCOAL SAMPLES FOR POTENTIAL RADIOCARBON DATABLE MATERIAL AND PHYTOLITH ANALYSIS OF GROUNDSTONE WASH SAMPLES FROM SITES 35LK444/445/4350, 35LK449, 35LK453, AND 35LK463/464/4409 IN LAKE COUNTY, OREGON

Summary

Four sites in Lake County, Oregon yielded charcoal for AMS radiocarbon dating. Ten samples were submitted for analysis to identify the most appropriate material for AMS radiocarbon dating. In addition, four groundstone wash samples, submitted from two of the four sites, were analyzed for phytolith evidence of food processing. All four sites are associated with prehistoric occupations; however, historic artifacts recovered at two of these sites indicate an early 20th Century component.
