BONE COLLAGEN EXTRACTION AND AMS RADIOCARBON AGE DETERMINATION OF A BISON BONE FRAGMENT FROM THE CASPER SITE, TEXAS

Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings

Year: 2017

Summary

A bison bone fragment recovered from an alluvial terrace at the Casper Site (WT-1) in San Antonio, Texas was submitted for AMS radiocarbon analysis. The bone is expected to date in the latter part of the Little Ice Age. In addition to radiometric dating, the bone was examined for its δ13C and δ15N ratios.
