Charcoal Identifcation (Other Keyword)
1-3 (3 Records)
A total of 21 soil samples from a preliminary fault study on the coastline of northern Mozambique, Africa, were floated to recover organic fragments suitable for radiocarbon dating in hopes that the dates will provide some constraint on the overall age of near surface sediments. The project area is predominantly sand with varying degrees of silt and clay. Botanic components, detrital charcoal, and shell were identified, and potentially radiocarbon datable material was separated. A total of 14...
IDENTIFICATION AND AMS RADIOCARBON DATING OF CHARCOAL FROM A CORE IN MOUND C AT THE TONCREY SITE (16PL07), LOUISIANA (2012)
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.
IDENTIFICATION AND AMS RADIOCARBON DATING OF CHARCOAL FROM SITE 48PA24 AND SURPRISE SHELTER, WYOMING (2012)
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.
