CHARCOAL IDENTIFICATION AND AMS RADIOCARBON DATING OF CHARCOAL FROM SITES CA-DNO-26 AND CA-DNP-333, CALIFORNIA
Author(s): Kathryn Puseman; R.A. Varney
Year: 2007
Summary
A total of 24 charcoal samples from sites CA-DNO-26 and CA-DNO-333 in the Redwood
National and State Parks of northern California were submitted for identification. The study
area is located in Tolowa ancestral territory. Archaeological excavations in this area are part of
a long-range research program investigating prehistoric settlement and adaptation in the North
Coast of California. Charcoal samples from CA-DNO-26 and CA-DNO-333 were identified to
provide information concerning woods burned as fuel by the site occupants and to avoid dating
redwood (Sequoia sempervirens). AMS radiocarbon dates were obtained for nine of the
charcoal samples from CA-DNO-26. Two bone samples also were submitted for AMS
radiocarbon dating; however, insufficient amounts of the organic fraction remained in the bone
to obtain an age.
