MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS AND AMS RADIOCARBON DATING OF A HEARTH AT SITE 5RB5596, WESTERN COLORADO
Author(s): Kathryn Puseman
Year: 2007
Summary
The fill from a fire hearth at site 5RB5596 in western Colorado was examined for
macrofloral remains in the spring of 2007 to provide subsistence information concerning plant
resources utilized by the prehistoric occupants of this site. This hearth originally was located
during construction monitoring of a pipeline corridor. Charcoal from the hearth fill also was
identified and processed for AMS radiocarbon analysis to identify woods burned as fuel and an
age of occupation. A piece of box elder charcoal from the hearth fill yielded a date of 2305 ±
15 BP. An additional sample from the hearth fill was floated to recover macrofloral remains in
the spring of 2008.
