Author(s): Kathryn Puseman; Melissa K. Logan
Year: 2009
Summary
Fourteen charcoal samples from sites CA-GLE-699, CA-GLE-700, CA-GLE-701 were submitted for identification. These sites are located along the Sacramento River in Hamilton City, Glenn County, California. Radiocarbon dates of 445 and 465 calibrated years BP were obtained for charcoal from CA-GLE-699, while CA-GLE-700 yielded dates of 1210 and 2700 calibrated years BP. A single date of 560 calibrated years BP was returned for CA-GLE-701. Charcoal identification will provide information on the types of wood burned as fuel by the inhabitants of these sites, which is hoped will aid in determining the stability or change in wood fuels over time.
