MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS AND AMS RADIOCARBON AGE DETERMINATION OF A SAMPLE FROM SITE IO-544, WHITE SANDS MISSILE RANGE, SIERRA COUNTY, NEW MEXICO
Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings
Year: 2019
Summary
Site IO-544 comprises a scatter of burnt caliche and stain that likely represent a hearth feature situated on a low dunal ridge in the Tularosa Basin region of Sierra County, New Mexico. Epsilon Systems Solutions recorded and collected a sediment sample from Site IO-544 during archaeological investigation of the White Sands Missile Range Rhodes Canyon project. Epsilon submitted the collected sediment sample to PaleoResearch Institute for macrofloral analysis and AMS radiocarbon age determination. From the sediment sample, Epsilon seeks both to verify the interpretation of the stain as a hearth and to indicate possible cultural affiliations.
