IDENTIFICATION AND AMS RADIOCARBON DATING OF CHARCOAL FROM THE ECHO PLAYA TRENCH SITE, CHINA LAKE NAVAL AIR WEAPONS STATION, SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA

Author(s): Kathryn Puseman

Year: 2012

Summary

Eleven charcoal samples from a trench at the Echo Playa trench site on the China Lake Naval Air Weapons Station (NAWS) in San Bernardino County, California, were submitted for identification and AMS radiocarbon dating. Radiocarbon ages will be used to constrain the timing of paleoearthquakes on the central Garlock fault. The oldest samples are expected to return middle- to late-Holocene ages.
