EXAMINATION OF BULK SOIL/DETRITAL CHARCOAL AND AMS RADIOCARBON ANALYSIS OF MATERIAL FROM ALONG THE BLUE RIVER FOR THE GREEN MOUNTAIN DAM PALEOFLOOD STUDY, COLORADO

Author(s): Kathryn Puseman

Year: 2010

Summary

Two bulk soil samples and 61 detrital charcoal samples were examined to recover organic fragments suitable for radiocarbon analysis. These samples were collected from stream deposits along the Blue River in the Lower Blue River Basin near Green Mountain Dam and Reservoir in western Colorado. Botanic components and detrital charcoal were identified, and potentially radiocarbon datable material was separated. Six radiocarbon dates were obtained.
