EXAMINATION OF BULK SOIL AND CHARCOAL, AND AMS RADIOCARBON AGE DETERMINATION OF MATERIAL FROM THE ROVNER SIMI PROJECT, SIMI VALLEY, CALIFORNIA
Author(s): Peter Kováčik; Linda Scott Cummings
Year: 2014
Summary
A selection of bulk soil samples collected from trenches and augers excavated as part of the Rovner Simi Project, Simi Valley, southern California, were floated to recover organic fragments suitable for radiocarbon age determination. In addition, two charcoal samples also were submitted for identification and microscopic charcoal was extracted from five sediment samples. Botanic components and charcoal fragments were identified, and optimal radiocarbon datable material, including microcharcoal, was submitted for AMS radiocarbon dating.
