Five samples from Pasture Canyon, Arizona, were examined to recover charcoal or other organic fragments suitable for radiocarbon analysis. These samples were recovered from two soil pits excavated in the stream bank and on the hillslope at the base of an older stabilized dune. Botanic components and detrital charcoal were identified, and potentially radiocarbon datable material was separated. A total of three charcoal samples were selected for AMS radiocarbon dating.

FIVE reports in one volume. 1. Dating Adamana Brown Ware Radiocarbon dating at five Basketmaker II period sites provide the first chronometric determinations for Adamana Brown ware, considered the earliest pottery on the Colorado Plateau. The radiocarbon dates indicate that production of the pottery began between A.D. 1 and A.D. 200 and possibly as early as 400 B.C. The pottery enjoyed long-lived use, possibly produced as late as A.D. 600. 2. Adamana Brown Ware Radiography Study Among...

Faunal remains from Bailey Ruin, Hough's Great Kiva, Cothrun's Kiva, and Pottery Hill.This is the full original SCARP faunal dataset created by Rebecca Dean with one column added, ALLGNAW. The orignal dataset has rodent and carnivore gnawing coded separately. Mapping gnawing information from SCARP to the tDAR Faunal Gnawing Ontology required a new variable that combined presence/absence information from both columns.
