MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS AND AMS RADIOCARBON AGE DETERMINATION OF SAMPLES FROM THE TINIAN OCEAN VIEW HOTEL PROJECT, TACHONGNYA BEACH, TINIAN

Author(s): Peter Kováčik

Year: 2017

Summary

The Tinian Ocean View Hotel Site is located on Tachongnya Beach in Tinian, one of the three principal islands of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. Two post holes were encountered with an estimated age AD 500–1500 (Randy Harper, personal communication October 2, 2017). Samples of sediment from within the post holes were submitted for macrofloral analysis and AMS radiocarbon dating to determine the age of the cultural features.
