CHARCOAL IDENTIFICATION, AMS RADIOCARBON DATING, AND ORGANIC RESIDUE (FTIR) ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES FROM SITE 10EL1199, ELMORE COUNTY, IDAHO

Author(s): Kathryn Puseman; Melissa K. Logan

Year: 2011

Summary

Four charcoal samples from site 10EL1199 in Elmore County, Idaho, were submitted for identification and AMS radiocarbon dating. Ceramic sherds from this site also were submitted for organic residue analysis. Samples were tested for organic residues using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). Organic residue analysis provides information regarding diet, in this case specifically foods processed in ceramic vessels.
