IDENTIFICATION AND AMS RADIOCARBON DATING OF CHARCOAL FROM ROASTING PIT/THERMAL FEATURES AT SITE CA-RIV-9086, CALIFORNIA

Author(s): Kathryn Puseman

Year: 2011

Summary

Twelve charcoal samples from six features were submitted for identification and AMS radiocarbon dating. These features represent oblong roasting pits/thermal features at site CA-RIV-9086 in Riverside County, California, and consist of fire-affected rocks in a lens of dark sediment. Native Cahuilla are known to have used and roasted agave, and it is possible these features were used for roasting agave. Twelve radiocarbon dates were obtained.
