AMS of Microcharcoal For Samples From The Cosinuina Volcano, Nicaragua (2021)
Two soil samples were submitted for AMS radiocarbon dating from Cosigüina Volcano, Nicaragua. The client requested the samples be processed via the microcharcoal recovery and radiocarbon pretreatment technique that were developed by PaleoResearch Institute. The client estimated Sample COS–G–52 to be ca., 30,000 years old and Sample COS–H–68 to be ca., 20,000 years old.

Three soil samples collected from the Custis Square house site (04BC), located in Williamsburg, Virginia, were submitted for experimental pollen and phytolith analyses to inform the sampling strategy for Colonial Williamsburg archaeologists. Three different depositional environments were selected for review. Pollen analysis was conducted on all three types of samples, while phytolith analysis contributed to understanding two of the contexts.
Shemya Island and the Question of Inland Sites (2008)
