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.

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...

Eleven charcoal samples from a trench at the Echo Playa trench site on the China Lake Naval Air Weapons Station (NAWS) in San Bernardino County, California, were submitted for identification and AMS radiocarbon dating. Radiocarbon ages will be used to constrain the timing of paleoearthquakes on the central Garlock fault. The oldest samples are expected to return middle- to late-Holocene ages.

Two charcoal samples from an excavation unit at the Game Drive Site (5LA5484) on the Piñon Canyon Maneuver Site in Las Animas County, Colorado, were submitted for identification. A single radiocarbon date also was obtained from charcoal in one of the samples. This site is a large complex of rockshelters, rock art, bedrock metates, thermal features, and lithics. Diagnostic projectile points and rock art suggest occupation within the Developmental to Diversification periods (A.D. 100-1050 to A.D....

Charcoal from two hearth features at the Pinto Canyon Ranch site, PCR-69, in west Texas were submitted for identification and AMS radiocarbon dating. This site consists of an open camp and contains fire-cracked rock middens, hearths, and surficial charcoal stains. Charcoal identification will identify wood burned as fuel at this site, while AMS radiocarbon dates will provide temporal information.

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...
