MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS AND AMS RADIOCARBON AGE DETERMINATION OF SAMPLES FROM SITES 24ME163 AND 24ME1105, MEAGHER COUNTY, MONTANA

Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings; Jenna Battillo

Year: 2019

Summary

Sites 24ME163 and 24ME1105 are lithic scatters located along Sheep Creek in the Little Belt Mountains of the Northern Rocky Mountains, Meagher County, Montana. Recent excavations at the sites discovered hearth features at both sites and numerous fire-cracked rock (FCR) at Site 24ME163 (Lynn Peterson, personal communication, July 23, 2019). Hearth feature fill recovered at Site 24ME163 was submitted for macrofloral analysis and AMS radiocarbon age determination. Charcoal samples recovered from a hearth at Site 24ME1105 were submitted for identification and AMS radiocarbon age determination.
