POLLEN ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES FROM SITE 5GN2478, CURECANTI NATIONAL RECREATION AREA, COLORADO (1995)
Site 5GN2478 is located near the Blue Mesa Reservoir within the Curecanti National Recreation Area, Colorado. The site contains a pithouse structure (Feature 7), approximately 3 meters in diameter. There is currently no age associated with this feature. A probable metate was recovered from within Feature 7 and was washed for pollen. Pollen analysis of the wash residue was undertaken in order to help determine possible plant types processed on the metate and within Feature 7.

POLLEN ANALYSIS OF SOUTH PUEBLO AT PECOS NATIONAL MONUMENT, NEW MEXICO (1977)
Pecos and the ruins of Pecos have been known to explorers, adventurers, and travelers for over 400 years and the site has been the scene of intermittent archaeological investigations since 1880 when Adolf Bandelier measured and described the ruins. The first scientific excavations were undertaken by A. V. Kidder (1924) on the North Pueblo in 1915 and since that time Pecos has been subjected to numerous excavations, reexcavations, and stabilization efforts. Although Pecos has been the subject...
POLLEN ANALYSIS OF STRATIGRAPHIC MIDDEN DEPOSITS FROM GRAN QUlVERA NATIONAL MONUMENT, NEW MEXICO (1985)
Pollen analysis was undertaken at Gran Quivera in conjunction with archaeological investigation of several midden areas. Stratigraphic pollen columns were collected throughout various excavation units within the midden in an effort to sample all of the glaze units represented. Two stratigraphic columns were selected for analysis based on their glaze components. Evidence of differentiation in plant utilization through time was sought within this record. In addition, a generalized...
POLLEN ANALYSIS OF THREE SITES IN THE LA MESA FIRE STUDY AREA (1978)
