EXAMINATION OF BULK SOIL, IDENTIFICATION OF DETRITAL CHARCOAL, AND AMS RADIOCARBON AGE DETERMINATION OF MATERIAL COLLECTED ALONG WEBER RIVER AND CHALK CREEK, UTAH

Author(s): Peter Kovacik

Year: 2011

Summary

Two bulk soil samples and thirty-six detrital charcoal samples were examined to recover organic fragments suitable for radiocarbon age determination. These samples were recovered from stream deposits along the Weber River and Chalk Creek in the Weber River Basin, near Echo Dam and Reservoir and upstream of Wanship Dam and Rockport Lake, northern Utah. The botanic components and detrital charcoal were identified, and potentially radiocarbon datable material was separated. A total of twelve radiocarbon dates were obtained on charcoal from these samples.
