CHARCOAL IDENTIFICATION AND AMS RADIOCARBON AGE DETERMINATION OF A SAMPLE FROM SITE 27-GR-236, GRAFTON COUNTY, NEW HAMPSHIRE

Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings; Jenna Battillo

Year: 2019

Summary

A hearth feature excavated at Site 27-GR-236 is located along the Pemigewassat River near the town of Plymouth in Grafton County, New Hampshire. Artifacts observed in association with the hearth suggest affiliation with Early Woodland cultures (Mark Doperalski, personal communication, August 26, 2019). Charcoal collected from the feature was submitted for AMS radiocarbon age determination to assess whether the hearth is indeed prehistoric and what species were used in the hearth.
