IDENTIFICATION AND AMS RADIOCARBON DATING OF CHARCOAL FROM SITE 48PA24 AND SURPRISE SHELTER, WYOMING

Author(s): Peter Kovacik; Kathryn Puseman

Year: 2012

Summary

Four wood charcoal samples from site 48PA24 and one sample from the Surprise Shelter, Wyoming, were submitted for identification and AMS radiocarbon dating. Both sites represent rockshelters. Identification of wood charcoal provides evidence for wood burning as a fuel resource in the aforementioned rockshelters and enables selection of the most relevant specimen for AMS radiocarbon dating.
