EXAMINATION OF BULK SOIL FOR DATABLE CHARCOAL FROM THE SAN JUAN RIVER, UTAH

Summary

Six bulk soil samples from deposits along the San Juan River in southeastern Utah were

floated to recover charcoal and other organic remains suitable for radiocarbon dating. These

samples were examined as part of a paleoflood study in a bedrock controlled reach of the San

Juan River between Bluff and Mexican Hat, Utah. Botanic components and detrital charcoal

were identified, and potentially radiocarbon datable material was separated.
