IDENTIFICATION AND AMS RADIOCARBON DATING OF CHARCOAL FROM THE RED GULCH SHELTER (48BH4058) AND THE SOUTH OWL CREEK SHELTER (48HO327), WYOMING

Author(s): Kathryn Puseman

Year: 2009

Summary

Charcoal samples from the Red Gulch Shelter (48BH4058) and the South Owl Creek Shelter (48HO327) in the Bighorn Basin of north-central Wyoming were submitted for identification and AMS radiocarbon dating. Archaeological investigation of the rockshelters revealed historic and possible Archaic occupations. Identification of the charcoal contributes information regarding wood burned as fuel in the rockshelters and assists in selecting the most relevant charcoal to date.
