IDENTIFICATION OF CHARCOAL AND AMS RADIOCARBON DATING OF MATERIAL FROM PALEOSEISMIC TRENCHES IN KERN COUNTY, CALIFORNIA

Author(s): Kathryn Puseman

Year: 2009

Summary

Samples from paleoseismic trenches in Kern County, California, were examined to

recover charred material suitable for AMS radiocarbon dating. Charcoal fragments in 17

samples from colluvium at NHAV were identified, and 16 radiocarbon dates were obtained.

Charcoal in a bulk soil sample from alluvium at site COR also was identified and processed for

AMS radiocarbon dating. A bulk soil sample from colluvium at site BAR was processed to

recover microcharcoal for AMS radiocarbon dating; however, insufficient material was

recovered.
