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.
