CHARCOAL AND WOOD IDENTIFICATION, MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS, AND AMS RADIOCARBON DATING OF SAMPLES FROM THE FRIANT DAM, CALIFORNIA (2011)

DOCUMENT Full-Text Kathryn Puseman.

A total of nineteen bulk soil samples, fourteen detrital charcoal samples, and one wood sample from along the San Joaquin River near Fresno, California, were examined to recover organic fragments suitable for radiocarbon dating. These samples were recovered from Holocene alluvium in soil pits downstream of Friant Dam and from auger holes in slackwater deposits upstream of the dam. Botanic components and detrital charcoal were identified, and potentially radiocarbon-datable material was...

POLLEN, PHYTOLITH, AND STARCH ANALYSES OF GROUND STONE ARTIFACTS FROM THE SAN JOAQUIN RIVER PERGOLA SITE, FRESNO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA (2017)
