EXAMINATION OF BULK SOIL FOR DATABLE CHARCOAL FROM A LACUSTRINE BAR DEPOSIT IN THE LAKE LAHONTAN BASIN, NEVADA

Author(s): Kathryn Puseman

Year: 2001

Summary

Two bulk soil samples from a trench exposure in a lacustrine bar deposit in the Lake

Lahontan Basin near Bradys Hot Spring, Nevada, were floated to recover organic fragments

suitable for radiocarbon dating. Radiocarbon dating will be used for reconstructing past lake

highstands and to place a constraint on the age of the most recent earthquake. Botanic

components and detrital charcoal were identified, and potentially radiocarbon datable material

was separated.
