Little Ice Age (Temporal Keyword)
1-4 (4 Records)
In 2003 a partial bison skull was recovered by Ashley National Forest archeologist Brian Storm from an elevation of 3840 m (12,600 ft) AMSL in the Uinta Mountains. The partial skull consists of a portion of the frontal, occipital region, and horn cores including horn sheaths. The presence of the horn sheaths is of particular interest for the ecological information they can provide. Through the analysis of the individual cones of the horn sheath a record of the animal’s dietary and migration...
BONE COLLAGEN EXTRACTION AND AMS RADIOCARBON AGE DETERMINATION OF A BISON BONE FRAGMENT FROM THE CASPER SITE, TEXAS (2017)
A bison bone fragment recovered from an alluvial terrace at the Casper Site (WT-1) in San Antonio, Texas was submitted for AMS radiocarbon analysis. The bone is expected to date in the latter part of the Little Ice Age. In addition to radiometric dating, the bone was examined for its δ13C and δ15N ratios.
BONE COLLAGEN EXTRACTION AND AMS RADIOCARBON AGE DETERMINATION OF TEETH SAMPLES FROM PAYNE’S CAVE (CA-TEH-193), TEHAMA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA (2017)
Two sets of mule deer teeth, recovered from CA-TEH-193 and expected to date to the Little Ice Age, were submitted for AMS radiocarbon dating.
Final Report to National Park Service, Midwest Archeological Center, on Vegetation and Fire History at Voyageurs National Park (2000)
Management of the forest resources in areas such as Voyageurs National Park requires not only information regarding the present forests but also an assessment of forest composition immediately prior to European settlement, the frequency of forest disturbances prior to logging, and the changes or trends of the major forest species prior to logging. A vegetation and fire history of the pre-settlement forests and corresponding climatic interpretation should also aid the interpretation of...
