Two pieces of bone from site 25FT376 were submitted for AMS radiocarbon dating. This site reflects a remnant of a Holocene terrace on an island in Hugh Butler Lake (Red Willow Lake) in Frontier County, Nebraska. This island is usually under water in the reservoir, but has been exposed during draw-down of the reservoir for repairs to Red Willow Dam. The island surface contains a scatter of bison bone, chipped stone tools, and lithic debitage. Site 25FT376 is believed to reflect an Early Archaic,...

Three bone fragments from Site CA-SDI-1313/14791 were submitted for AMS radiocarbon dating. This site is located on Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton in northern San Diego County, southern California. These bone fragments are expected to date between 6800-3000 BP. Sufficient collagen was recovered from only one of the bone fragments; therefore, an additional three bone samples were submitted. A total of four dates were obtained.

Bone fragments collected from sites HdSd-70 and HdSd-370 were recovered during the Williston Reservoir Archaeology Project - 1301, British Columbia, Canada. Sites HdSd-70 and HdSd-370 are in close proximity to one another along an old river channel in the semi-eroded reservoir drawdown zone. The bone at these sites consisted of isolated and restricted surface and subsurface scatters at the edge of the channel. Dates from these samples are expected to fall in the mid- to late-Holocene.

Three bison bone samples and two pieces of charcoal were submitted from the Wahkpa Chu’gn bison kill site (24HL0101) in north-central Montana. One bone sample was recovered from a large fire-cracked rock feature found in Area E. Two charcoal samples and two bison bone samples were recovered from Display House #5, the westernmost display area, in Area D. The earliest occupation appears to have been the Besant Complex around 2000-1500 BP. There was a short occupation by the Avonlea Complex,...

A horse clam shell fragment recovered from a burial pit at site DcRu-4, British Columbia, was submitted for AMS radiocarbon dating. The shell fragment was originally part of two large shell halves that were nested and placed next to the interred individual of the burial feature. It is believed that the shell date will fall approximately withing the last 1500 years.

A shell sample was submitted for AMS radiocarbon dating from site DcRu-1,a resource processing area, in southern Vancouver Island, British Columbia. The sample was recovered from an intact shell midden or processing pit located underneath a built up disturbance zone. AMS radiocarbon dating will provide temporal information for use of this feature, which is believed to have been during the last 2500 years.

Site DfRw-13 consists of intact and disturbed shell midden deposits extending across the upper terrace of the Ladysmith town sewage treatment plant, British Columbia. Deposits at the site have been reported of low archaeological significance (Park 2004), and plans to construct a secondary sewage treatment system will clear and level the only remaining terrace with the site. AMS radiocarbon dates on three shell samples collected from DfRw-13 will provide temporal data for the site.

The carbon and clay cores of two sculptures were submitted for AMS radiocarbon dating. A bronze Brahmanic sculpture of Vishnu was purportedly made during the Sukhothai era in Thailand. These pieces are noted to have been produced from the 1300s until the first quarter of the 1500s. A bronze sitting Buddha from Bhutan was supposedly cast during the 1400s. Radiocarbon dating of samples from both statues was completed to verify the dates.

Fragments of Thuja plicata (western red cedar) bark from the High Bar Cache, site 10IH3488, in Hells Canyon, Idaho, were submitted for AMS radiocarbon dating. This cache consists of a greenstone pestle, a wooden tool, and textiles stored under a cairn in a boulder overhang, which is believed to represent a cache of a woman’s equipment and possessions. AMS radiocarbon dates were obtained on fragments of inner cedar bark from a woven mat and from a large bundle of bark.

A probable bison rib bone fragment from the Miller Mound site, 21BS4, in Big Stone County, Minnesota, was submitted for AMS radiocarbon dating. This bone was recovered from mound fill during excavations by Lloyd Wilford prior to the 1960's and is expected to date around 800 years.

The Stateline Site (RI 2802) is situated on an elevated rise overlooking Millers River in Cumberland, Rhode Island. The site is a precontact hunting, food processing, and stone tool manufacturing camp. Two radiocarbon dates produced by Beta Analytic (Beta-565363 and Beta-565364) as well as excavated material culture suggest the site was periodically occupied during the Late Archaic, Transitional Archaic, and possibly Late Woodland periods (ca. 5000–500 BP). Two isolated charcoal samples...
