EXAMINATION OF BULK SOIL FOR RADIOCARBON DATABLE MATERIAL FROM TRENCHES ACROSS ACTIVE FAULTS IN NORTHEASTERN NEVADA
Author(s): Kathryn Puseman
Year: 2001
Summary
A total of nine bulk soil samples recovered from sediments exposed in trenches excavated
across active faults in northeastern Nevada were floated to recover organic fragments suitable for
radiocarbon analysis. Radiocarbon ages would be used to place quantitative bounds on the ages
of prehistoric earthquakes that have occurred along the faults. Botanic components and detrital
charcoal were identified, and potentially radiocarbon datable material was separated.
