AMS RADIOCARBON DATING ON TWO SAMPLES FROM THE STATELINE SITE (RI 2802), CUMBERLAND, RHODE ISLAND
Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings
Year: 2022
Summary
The Stateline Site (RI 2802) is situated on an elevated rise overlooking Millers River in Cumberland, Rhode Island. The site is a precontact hunting, food processing, and stone tool manufacturing camp. Two radiocarbon dates produced by Beta Analytic (Beta-565363 and Beta-565364) as well as excavated material culture suggest the site was periodically occupied during the Late Archaic, Transitional Archaic, and possibly Late Woodland periods (ca. 5000–500 BP). Two isolated charcoal samples recovered from a hearth feature and a bowl shaped feature were submitted for AMS radiocarbon dating.
