IDENTIFICATION AND AMS RADIOCARBON DATING OF CHARCOAL FROM THE GENEVIEVE LYKES DUNCAN SITE, 41BS2615, ON THE 02 RANCH, TEXAS: DATA RECOVERY PHASE

A single charcoal sample was submitted for identification and AMS radiocarbon dating from the Genevieve Lykes Duncan Site (41BS2615) on the 02 Ranch, approximately 25 miles south of Alpine in Brewster County, Texas. Initial excavations at the site identified it as a buried, open campsite with three locales. The charcoal sample was collected from between and around the rocks of Feature 18, a buried hearth, at the Broadway Locale. Although this area has experienced multiple occupations including Late Paleoindian, Early Archaic, and Middle Archaic, this sample is believed to represent the Late Paleoindian Period.
