IDENTIFICATION AND AMS RADIOCARBON ANALYSIS OF CHARCOAL FROM SITES ALONG CLEAR CREEK FOR THE WHISKEYTOWN FLOOD HYDROLOGY STUDY, CALIFORNIA

Summary

A total of 34 detrital charcoal samples from along Clear Creek, a tributary to the

Sacramento River in northern California, were floated to recover organic fragments suitable for

radiocarbon analysis. These samples were collected from stream terraces and the floodplain

along Clear Creek for the Whiskeytown Flood Hydrology Study. Botanic components and

detrital charcoal were identified, and potentially radiocarbon datable material was separated.

Nine charcoal samples were submitted for AMS radiocarbon analysis.
