POLLEN AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS AT KITE PUEBLO, SITE LA-199, NEW MEXICO (1996)
Kite Pueblo (Site LA-199) is a small, masonry-and-adobe pueblo consisting of four roomblocks surrounding a central plaza believed to have been occupied during the Early Pueblo Period (ca. AD 1250-1350). It is located in central New Mexico in the general vicinity of Gran Quivira. This site appears to have experienced several building episodes. Soil samples were collected from at least one room in each of the roomblocks, from a structure located in the central plaza, and from levels of...
