EXAMINATION OF BULK SOIL FOR RADIOCARBON DATABLE MATERIAL FROM THE BACA LANE PIT, SITE BA-MM04-25, SOUTHERN COLORADO

Author(s): Kathryn Puseman; Jaime Dexter

Year: 2005

Summary

Four bulk soil samples from the Baca Lane Pit site (BA-MM04-25) in Alamosa County,

Colorado, were floated to recover organic fragments suitable for radiocarbon analysis. These

samples were recovered from multiple buried A soil horizons within an eolian sand dune

complex. Cultural (Holocene) artifacts are associated with several of the A horizons, and a

small hearth with burned bird bones was noted. Botanic components and detrital charcoal were

identified, and potentially radiocarbon datable material was separated.
