1-4 (4 Records)
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....
MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS AND AMS RADIOCARBON AGE DETERMINATION OF SAMPLES FROM SITES IN THE PIÑON CANYON MANEUVER SITE, LAS ANIMAS COUNTY, COLORADO (2017)
Sites 5LA03200, 5LA05698, 5LA10858, 5LA03384, and 5LA04399 are located within the Piñon Canyon Maneuver Site (PCMS) in Las Animas County, southeastern Colorado. Seven features encountered at these sites were sampled for macrofloral analysis (nine samples) and charcoal identification (three samples), to recover and identify charred floral remains and charcoal, indicating food and fuel related activities of prehistoric occupants of this region. Radiocarbon analysis was requested for suitable...
MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS, CHARCOAL IDENTIFICATION, AND AMS RADIOCARBON DATING AT SITES 5LA10370 AND 5LA11074 ON THE PINON CANYON MANEUVER SITE, FORT CARSON ARMY INSTALLATION, LAS ANIMAS COUNTY, COLORADO (2009)
Fill from a roasting pit at site 5LA10370 was floated to recover charred macrofloral remains. Charcoal from this sample was submitted for AMS radiocarbon dating. Charcoal from Stratum II at site 5LA11074 also was submitted for identification and AMS radiocarbon dating. These sites are located on the Piñon Canyon Maneuver Site in Las Animas County, southeast Colorado. Macrofloral analysis, including charcoal identification, will be used to provide information concerning plant resources utilized...
MACROFLORAL AND ANTHRACOLOGICAL (CHARCOAL) ANALYSIS, AND AMS RADIOCARBON AGE DETERMINATION OF SAMPLES FROM SITES 5LA03269, 5LA03300, AND 5LA05699, LAS ANIMAS COUNTY, COLORADO (2017)
Sites 5LA03269, 5LA03300, and 5LA05699 are situated in the Big Arroyo Hills within the Piñon Canyon Maneuver Site (PCMS), Las Animas County, Colorado (Wayne Thomas, personal communication October 6, 2017). Four features encountered at these sites were sampled for macrofloral and anthracological (charcoal) analysis to recover and identify charred floral remains and charcoal suitable for AMS radiocarbon age determination. Four radiocarbon dates were requested to ascertain period of use.
