EXAMINATION OF DETRITAL CHARCOAL AND AMS RADIOCARBON ANALYSIS OF MATERIAL FROM PASTURE CANYON, ARIZONA

Author(s): Kathryn Puseman

Year: 2010

Summary

Five samples from Pasture Canyon, Arizona, were examined to recover charcoal or other organic fragments suitable for radiocarbon analysis. These samples were recovered from two soil pits excavated in the stream bank and on the hillslope at the base of an older stabilized dune. Botanic components and detrital charcoal were identified, and potentially radiocarbon datable material was separated. A total of three charcoal samples were selected for AMS radiocarbon dating.
