AMS RADIOCARBON DATING OF THUJA PLICATA (WESTERN RED CEDAR) BARK FROM THE HIGH BAR CACHE, SITE 10IH3488, IDAHO

Author(s): Kathryn Puseman

Year: 2010

Summary

Fragments of Thuja plicata (western red cedar) bark from the High Bar Cache, site 10IH3488, in Hells Canyon, Idaho, were submitted for AMS radiocarbon dating. This cache consists of a greenstone pestle, a wooden tool, and textiles stored under a cairn in a boulder overhang, which is believed to represent a cache of a woman’s equipment and possessions. AMS radiocarbon dates were obtained on fragments of inner cedar bark from a woven mat and from a large bundle of bark.
