Radiocarbon Dates of Peats from North Pacific North America
Ages are presented for 17 late-Pleistocene peat samples from sections that range from Karluk on Kodiak Island, Alaska to Port Orford, Oregon. Pollen and peat stratigraphy of the sections is used to interpret the environments prevailing at and since the time of sample deposition. The late-glacial at...
