MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS, MICROSCOPIC CHARCOAL EXTRACTION, AND AMS RADIOCARBON AGE DETERMINATION OF SAMPLES FROM THE OKAMI SITE, GEORGIA

Author(s): Peter Kováčik; Linda Scott Cummings

Year: 2017

Summary

The Okami Site lies in the foothills of the Caucasus Mountains in Georgia. Four bulk soil samples collected from different units at this paleoseismic site were submitted for macrofloral analysis to recover charred floral remains suitable for AMS radiocarbon age determination. Microscopic charcoal extraction was requested for two samples that did not yield sufficient visible charcoal to date. A total of three radiocarbon dates were obtained.
