Description :
This study examines and compares methods of dating pit/mound microtopography formed by tree uprooting, and provides C 14 evidence for the longevity of these landforms. The AA. use C 14 analysis of buried wood and charcoal in treethrow mounds in Michigan and Wisconsin, to arrive at estimates of the geochronometric ages of treethrow mounds.
