EXAMINATION OF BULK SOIL FOR RADIOCARBON DATABLE MATERIAL FROM THE MAPLETON MEGATRENCH, UTAH

Author(s): Kathryn Puseman

Year: 2005

Summary

A total of 10 bulk soil samples from the Mapleton megatrench site on the Provo

segment of the Wasatch fault zone, Utah, were floated to recover organic fragments suitable

for radiocarbon analysis. One sample was collected from the trench, while the remaining nine

samples were recovered from Boreholes B1 and B2. Botanic components and detrital charcoal

were identified, and potentially radiocarbon datable material was separated.
