IDENTIFICATION OF DETRITAL CHARCOAL AND CHARRED BOTANIC REMAINS, AND AMS RADIOCARBON AGE DETERMINATION OF MATERIAL COLLECTED ALONG LITTLE BEAR RIVER AND THE EAST FORK OF LITTLE BEAR RIVER, UTAH

Year: 2011

Summary

Twenty-six detrital charcoal samples and one botanic sample were examined to recover organic fragments suitable for radiocarbon age determination. These samples were collected from Holocene terraces along Little Bear River and the East Fork of Little Bear River, a tributary to the Little Bear River, near the towns of Hyrum and Paradise in northeastern Utah. Botanic components and detrital charcoal were identified, and potentially radiocarbon datable material was separated. A total of eight radiocarbon dates were obtained on charcoal and one charred botanic item recovered from these samples.
