Pollen Stratigraphy of the Wetherill Mesa Region (1960)
Unpublished report, 1960 Describes pollen study of 115 samples from Wetherill Mesa (Mesa Verde National Park) undertaken at the Geochronology Laboratories, University of Arizona. Stratified pollen records from site 1205 provide information on past environmental events; records from site 1200 (Long House) contain horizon markers and a record of cultural activities. The majority of samples analyzed in an attempt to determine a palynological identifier of cornfields were unproductive.
Pollen Studies at Picuris Pueblo: Preliminary Report (1965)
Study of more than 100 pollen records to: define the site's PIV and Historic horizons pollen sequence, determine changes in arboreal coverage over time, assess likelihood of paleoclimatic change, and to consider the effects of pre-existing environments on culture.
Pollen Studies at Reeve Ruin and the Davis Ranch Site: Preliminary Report (1965)
Study of pollen samples from these two Reeve Phase sites was undertaken excluding Cheno-am and Compositae pollen from the pollen sum. Cross-dating suggests a five-horizon pollen sequence; three horizons are evidenced a both sites, the other two are from samples superimosed on the occupation floors of rooms. Dates between A.D. 1375 and 1490 are suggested for the sequence. Also discusses economically significant pollen types and presents cultural ecological interpretations. Published 1973
Pollen Studies at the Sapawe Site: Preliminary Report (1965)
Discusses local vegetation patterns, modern pollen/vegetation relationships, pollen sequence and chronology for the site, correspondence of ceramic-dated pollen horizons at this site with those elsewhere in the SW, cultural ecological implications of the pollen record, and plant resource availability during prehistoric occupation.
