DOCUMENT Full-Text Kathryn Puseman.

Samples from two sites in Middle Park, Colorado, were submitted for identification. Sediment from Site 5GA1955 was recovered from a charcoal layer in a hearth. Charcoal from this sample was submitted to Beta Analytic, Inc., for radiocarbon dating. Charcoal from Site 5GA1217 occurred as scattered grains across the site surface and probably derives from a natural burn. Identification to the genus level for this charcoal is noted to have paleoclimatic significance.
