- Context
- AMS date on soot that had accumulated on the outer surface of a pot thought to be either a variant of Uncompahgre Brown or Great Salt Lake Gray Punctate. Was dated as a test to determine whether the soot date would fall in the same time range as a TL date on the sherd and a charcoal sample found close to the sherd. The different results from each method led Benedict to conclude that the soot was the best indicator of the date of the sherd. Charcoal was much older, probably from an earlier occupation; the TL date was much too recent.
