CHARCOAL AND BOTANIC IDENTIFICATION AND AMS RADIOCARBON AGE DETERMINATION OF SAMPLES FROM SITES 5MT226 AND 5MT6341, MONTEZUMA COUNTY, COLORADO

Author(s): Peter Kováčik

Year: 2015

Summary

Sites 5MT226 and 5MT6341 are situated in the Kinder Morgan Yellow Jacket Dry Gas Loop Pipeline (YJDG Project) project area located approximately 4.3 miles southwest of the town of Yellow Jacket in Montezuma County, southwest Colorado. Various structures, pithouse, and features excavated at these sites reflect different periods ranging between Archaic/Pre-Pueblo II, Pueblo II and Basketmaker III (Hugh Robinson, personal communication October 23, 2015). One charcoal and two charred botanic samples collected from these contexts were submitted for identification and subsequent AMS radiocarbon age determination to ascertain

periods of occupation.
