IDENTIFICATION AND AMS RADIOCARBON DATING OF CHARCOAL FROM SITE LA 169204, NEW MEXICO

Author(s): Kathryn Puseman; Peter Kováčik

Year: 2011

Summary

Fill from a hearth at site LA 169204 in southeastern New Mexico was floated to recover charcoal for identification and AMS radiocarbon dating. This site is composed of deflated hearth features containing fragments of fire-cracked rock but no other associated artifacts and is believed to date between AD 400 and 900. Identification of the charcoal contributes information regarding what wood was burned as a fuel in the hearth and assists in selecting the most appropriate charcoal for radiocarbon dating.
