CHARCOAL IDENTIFICATION AND AMS RADIOCARBON DATING OF SAMPLES FROM ALONG THE YAKIMA RIVER, YAKIMA, WASHINGTON (2009)
DOCUMENT
Full-Text
A total of eighteen charcoal samples and four bulk soil samples from soil pits or trenches on stream terraces adjacent to the Yakima River in eastern Washington were floated to recover organic fragments suitable for radiocarbon analysis. These samples were collected for a study of Holocene terrace chronology along the Yakima River. Botanic components and detrital charcoal were identified, and potentially radiocarbon datable material was separated. Six radiocarbon dates were obtained.
