IDENTIFICATION AND AMS RADIOCARBON DATING OF CHARCOAL FROM THE LEONARD HOT SPRING SITE, CALIFORNIA
Author(s): Kathryn Puseman; Linda Scott Cummings
Year: 2008
Summary
A total of 11 samples were submitted for macrofloral identification and AMS radiocarbon
dating. These samples were recovered during test excavations at the Leonard Hot Spring Site,
located on the shore of extinct Pleistocene Lake Surprise in the Surprise Valley, California.
Samples were taken from ash- or charcoal-stained soil and from thermal features at the site.
Macrofloral analysis will be used to provide information concerning plant resources utilized by
the site occupants, especially woods burned as fuel. Charcoal from nine of the samples was
AMS radiocarbon dated.
