EXAMINATION OF DETRITAL CHARCOAL AND AMS RADIOCARBON ANALYSIS OF MATERIAL FROM ALONG GRASS VALLEY CREEK IN THE TRINITY RIVER BASIN FOR THE NORTHERN COAST RANGES OF CALIFORNIA HOLOCENE TERRACE CHRONOLOGY

Author(s): Kathryn Puseman; R.A. Varney

Year: 2007

Summary

Four charcoal samples from the Trinity River Basin of northern California were

submitted for identification. These samples were examined as part of the northern Coast

Ranges of California Holocene terrace chronology. The samples were recovered from a soil pit

on a high terrace above Grass Valley Creek. Botanic components and detrital charcoal were

identified, and potentially radiocarbon datable material was separated. Charcoal fragments

from two of the samples were processed for AMS radiocarbon analysis.
