Abstract

Presented in this article are the dates of specimens collected from the Western Sector of the Navajo Land Claim. Of the 1283 specimens processed, 482 were dated. This is a dating percentage of 38 percent. All but one of these dated specimens were Pinus edulis Englm. The Western Sector has been divided into four areas; from west to east they are (1) Havasu Canyon, (2) Navajo Mountain, (3) Lower Little Colorado, and (4) Chinle. Indices for all areas except the Chinle are presented.
