MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS, CHARCOAL IDENTIFICATION, AND AMS RADIOCARBON DATING AT SITES 5LA10370 AND 5LA11074 ON THE PINON CANYON MANEUVER SITE, FORT CARSON ARMY INSTALLATION, LAS ANIMAS COUNTY, COLORADO

Author(s): Kathryn Puseman

Year: 2009

Summary

Fill from a roasting pit at site 5LA10370 was floated to recover charred macrofloral remains. Charcoal from this sample was submitted for AMS radiocarbon dating. Charcoal from Stratum II at site 5LA11074 also was submitted for identification and AMS radiocarbon dating. These sites are located on the Piñon Canyon Maneuver Site in Las Animas County, southeast Colorado. Macrofloral analysis, including charcoal identification, will be used to provide information concerning plant resources utilized by the various occupants of these sites.
