IDENTIFICATION OF CHARCOAL FROM THE ELBEE VILLAGE SITE (32ME408), NORTH DAKOTA (2011)
Charcoal from the fill of a basin-shaped hearth at the Elbee Village site (32ME408) was submitted for identification. This hearth was exposed in an erosional cutbank of the Knife River and contained an abundance of charcoal. The Elbee site is an extensive earthlodge village in west-central North Dakota dating to the A.D. 1500s. The hearth was found away from and stratigraphically below the level of the village and might reflect an earlier occupation of the area.
IDENTIFICATION OF CHARCOAL FROM THE STINKING SPRINGS ROCKSHELTER, SITE 48TE1823, WYOMING (2010)
Charcoal from the Stinking Springs Rockshelter, site 48TE1823, was submitted for identification prior to radiocarbon dating. This site lies on a terrace of the Hoback River in western Wyoming. Identification of charcoal will provide information concerning woods burned as fuel in the rockshelter and allows for selection of material with the shortest life span for radiocarbon dating.
IDENTIFICATION OF CHARCOAL SAMPLES FOR POTENTIAL RADIOCARBON DATABLE MATERIAL AND PHYTOLITH ANALYSIS OF GROUNDSTONE WASH SAMPLES FROM SITES 35LK444/445/4350, 35LK449, 35LK453, AND 35LK463/464/4409 IN LAKE COUNTY, OREGON (2014)
