Charcoal from the fill of a small hearth at the Perdiz Trail Site (02-269) was submitted for identification and AMS radiocarbon dating. This small site is located in Brewster County, Texas. It contains small hearths and associated lithic artifacts and is believed to have been occupied for a short amount of time during the Late Prehistoric Cielo Complex, around AD 1300-1700. Identification of charcoal will identify types of wood burned as fuel in this hearth and the best possible material for...

Fill from a burned rock feature at the Side Arm Site (02-229) was floated to recover macrofloral remains. This site is located in Brewster County, Texas. Charcoal samples from two burned rock features were submitted for identification and AMS radiocarbon dating. Macrofloral analysis, including charcoal identification, will be used to provide information concerning plant resources utilized by the site occupations. AMS radiocarbon dating will provide a temporal context for the site.
