# Site name:       Swift Lake
# Place:           USA:Michigan
# Latitude:        42.88523N
# Longitude:       83.62281W
# Elevation(m):    286
# Site size(ha):   2
# Investigators:   Joanne Ballard, Thomas V. Lowell
#
# Sampling date:   02/20/2008
# Sampling device: Livingstone corer
# Diameter(cm):    5
# Water depth(cm): 975
# Sample Storage:  University of Cincinnati
# Analysis method: Loss on Ignition (LOI) (Myrbo 2005, Dean 1974) was performed according to standard
#                  procedure at 2 cm intervals. Samples are put in weighed and numbered crucibles and 
#                  placed in an oven at 100 degrees C overnight to dry them out. Sample and crucible are 
#                  then weighed and returned to the oven to be heated at 550 decrees C for an hour. Samples 
#                  are cooled and weighed in the crucibles. This process is repeated one more time at 
#                  1000 degrees C. Using the differences in sample weights, the mass lost during the
#                  550 degrees C treatment is organic mass, and the mass lost during the 1000 degrees C 
#                  heating is carbonate mass. The mass that is not burned off is clay, silica or other 
#                  non organic, non carbonate minerals.
#
# Location description: Situated inside Saginaw Lobe Moraine, near Flint MI, on private property 
#                       with gently rolling deciduous meadow, and is a lacustrine natural open 
#                       water glacial origin kettle lake. Within 1 km of the Gainey archaeological 
#                       site investigated by Donald B. Simons.
