CHARCOAL IDENTIFICATION AND AMS RADIOCARBON AGE DETERMINATION OF SAMPLES FROM SITES 59-73 AND 59-111, NEW LONDON COUNTY, CONNECTICUT (2018)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Linda Scott Cummings.

Sites 59-111 and 59-73 are situated in Groton, New London County, Connecticut and are 17th century Native American archaeological sites. Site 59-73 is situated atop a flat hilltop east of Site 59-111, and both sites are located in wooded areas that overlook the wetlands to the east. Two charcoal samples from each site were submitted for AMS radiocarbon age determination that are believed to date to the Pequot War (1636–1637), suggesting a possibility the two sites were related to the conflict.
