EXAMINATION OF BULK SOIL/DETRITAL CHARCOAL AND AMS RADIOCARBON AGE DETERMINATION OF MATERIAL FROM SITES ALONG THE NORTH FORK MALHEUR RIVER, AGENCY VALLEY, OREGON (2015)

DOCUMENT Full-Text Peter Kováčik.

Located below the Beulah Reservoir along the North Fork Malheur River, Agency Valley, Oregon, sites NFM1, NFM2, NFM3, and NFM4 represent pits excavated in gravely and fine-grained Holocene terraces (Tessa Harden, personal communication March, 2015). Excavations produced eight bulk soil and eight detrital charcoal samples for identification of charred floral remains suitable for AMS radiocarbon age determination (Tessa Harden, personal communication March, 2015). In addition, one bulk sample...
