Six charcoal and botanic samples were submitted for identification and AMS radiocarbon dating. These sample were recovered from features in the Tranquil Rockshelter (site 41BS1513) in Brewster County, Texas. Samples were recovered from the fill of three pits, a feature remnant, and a lenticular deposit of ash that might represent a structural floor deposit.

A total of six samples from geologic trenches at the 7 Lagos Project in Valdivia, Chile, were examined to recover charcoal or other organic fragments suitable for radiocarbon dating. Botanic components and detrital charcoal were identified, and potentially radiocarbon datable material was separated. One sample consisted of uncharred wood that did not survive the chemical pre-treatment for dating, while one of the samples did not contain any charred material. A total of four AMS radiocarbon...

A single charcoal sample from a core in the center of Mound C at the Toncrey site (16PL07) in southern Louisiana was submitted for identification and AMS radiocarbon dating. This site is associated with Late Woodland Coles Creek (AD 700-1200) and Mississippian Plaquemine (AD 1200-1750) cultures. Charcoal was removed from near the bottom of the 57 cm long core at a depth of 51-52 cm.

Charcoal from the fill of a small hearth at the Perdiz Trail Site (02-269) was submitted for identification and AMS radiocarbon dating. This small site is located in Brewster County, Texas. It contains small hearths and associated lithic artifacts and is believed to have been occupied for a short amount of time during the Late Prehistoric Cielo Complex, around AD 1300-1700. Identification of charcoal will identify types of wood burned as fuel in this hearth and the best possible material for...

Charcoal from the fill of a hearth at site 5AH3217 in northeast Colorado was submitted for identification and AMS radiocarbon dating. This hearth is believed to date around 4400 years BP. Identification of charcoal will provide information concerning wood burned as fuel in the hearth and allows for selection of material with the shortest life span for dating.

Twelve charcoal samples from six features were submitted for identification and AMS radiocarbon dating. These features represent oblong roasting pits/thermal features at site CA-RIV-9086 in Riverside County, California, and consist of fire-affected rocks in a lens of dark sediment. Native Cahuilla are known to have used and roasted agave, and it is possible these features were used for roasting agave. Twelve radiocarbon dates were obtained.

A total of 14 charcoal samples from site 41HY160 in central Texas were submitted for identification and AMS radiocarbon dating. These samples were collected from a contiguous block excavation adjacent to a spring that forms the headwaters of the San Marcos River. Identification of charcoal provides information concerning trees and shrubs burned as fuel by the site occupants and allows for selection of the shortest-lived taxa for radiocarbon dating.

A single charcoal sample from a thermal feature at site 45ST931 in northeast Washington was submitted for identification and AMS radiocarbon dating. This site is a prehistoric camp site located above Kettle Falls on the Columbia River and is believed to date to around 1000 BP. Identification of charcoal provides information concerning types of wood burned as fuel.

Four wood charcoal samples from site 48PA24 and one sample from the Surprise Shelter, Wyoming, were submitted for identification and AMS radiocarbon dating. Both sites represent rockshelters. Identification of wood charcoal provides evidence for wood burning as a fuel resource in the aforementioned rockshelters and enables selection of the most relevant specimen for AMS radiocarbon dating.

Single charcoal samples from sites 45LE511 and 45LE803 in Lewis County, Washington, were submitted for identification and AMS radiocarbon dating. These sites are believed to represent multi-component camps with lithic artifacts reflecting stone tool production and/or maintenance. Site 45LE511 is believed to represent Seal Island/Ilwaco I phase occupations from 4000 BC to AD 200. Projectile points from 45LE803 suggest Ilwaco I (Columbia Estruary) occupations from AD 0 to AD 1050. Identification...

Charcoal from the fill of a shallow, basin hearth at the Cub Springs Number One Site (BIBE-153) in southern Brewster County, Texas, was collected for identification and AMS radiocarbon dating. This site contains several thermal features and a fire-cracked rock midden. This site appears to be a multicomponent site with at least Late Archaic and Transitional Late Archaic occupations, based upon recovery of dart points. Charcoal was recovered from a thin bed of charcoal underlying a pavement of...

Charcoal samples from the Red Gulch Shelter (48BH4058) and the South Owl Creek Shelter (48HO327) in the Bighorn Basin of north-central Wyoming were submitted for identification and AMS radiocarbon dating. Archaeological investigation of the rockshelters revealed historic and possible Archaic occupations. Identification of the charcoal contributes information regarding wood burned as fuel in the rockshelters and assists in selecting the most relevant charcoal to date.

Three charcoal samples were submitted for identification and AMS radiocarbon dating. Two of the charcoal samples were taken from a post mold at the Sugar Lake site in central Minnesota. These charcoal samples were expected to date around 1500 BP. The thirdbcharcoal sample was recovered from a pit feature at site 21-CW-247 and was believed tobrepresent an Archaic occupation around 7000 BP. Additionally, two samples of burned food residue were submitted for AMS radiocarbon dating. The burned food...

Charcoal from a burned stick in a layer of adobe rubble overlying the floor of a habitation room at the Yamashita-2 site, 26CK6445, was submitted for identification and AMS radiocarbon dating. The Yamashita Sites are situated in the lower Moapa Valley of Clark County, Nevada, and consist of masonry structures. Previous radiocarbon analysis of charcoal from a burned post base at nearby site 26CK6444 and identified as Populus (cottonwood) yielded a radiocarbon age of A.D. 125-338.
