Full-Text
Twelve bulk soil samples and twenty-eight detrital charcoal samples were examined to recover organic fragments suitable for radiocarbon age determination. These samples were recovered from stream deposits along the Rio Chama River in the Rio Grande Basin near El Vado Dam and Reservoir, New Mexico. Botanic components and detrital charcoal were identified, and potentially radiocarbon datable material was separated. A total of nine radiocarbon dates were obtain on charcoal from these samples.
