IDENTIFICATION OF CHARCOAL FROM SITES IN THE NORTHERN ALASKA INTERIOR

Summary

A total of nine charcoal samples from six sites were submitted for identification prior to

radiocarbon dating. These sites are from the Interior Northern Alaska, above the spruce forest

tree line. Identification of charcoal was made to the family or genus level to determine types of

wood burned as fuel by the various site occupants. After identification, the charcoal samples

were submitted to Beta Analytic, Inc., for AMS radiocarbon dating.
