A sediment sample collected from the center of the monitor trench excavation was submitted for pollen and macrofloral analysis to establish baseline environmental information for the vicinity of the fishpond and to answer questions of how the fishpond was used.
POLLEN AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS OF SEVERAL HEARTH FEATURES FROM WHITE SANDS NATIONAL MONUMENT, NEW MEXICO (2003)
White Sands National Monument is located in the Tularosa Valley of south-central New Mexico. The Monument is situated entirely within the northern reaches of the Chihuahuan Desertscrub biome. Because the Tularosa Basin has no external drainage, plants tend to be dominated by halophytic types including four-wing saltbush, and alkalai sacaton. The water table in the basin is perched upon an impermeable clay layer that allows plant types such as sumac and cottonwood, normally found in more...

Pollen and macrofloral analyses at these sites were directed towards the identification of the floral portion of the...
POLLEN AND MACROFLORAL REPORT FOR 5DA29, DOUGLAS COUNTY, COLORADO (1986)
Forty pollen and macrofloral samples have been analyzed from 5DA29, a rockshelter situated along the South Platte River in the Pike National Forest to the southwest of Denver. The pollen and macrofloral or flotation sampling was aimed at gathering both paleoenvironmental and subsistence data relevant to the occupation of this rockshelter, which spans a period from approximately 5000 to 250 BP. The occupation of this rockshelter appears to have begun shortly after its formation.
POLLEN AND MACROFLORAL STUDIES AT SITE 5SM232, SOUTHWEST COLORADO (2003)
Soil samples from the lower fill of a deep, slab-lined fire/roasting pit at site 5SM232 on the Uncompahgre Plateau in southwest Colorado were examined for pollen and macrofloral remains. This site is a multi-component archaeological site containing diagnostic artifacts dating from the Middle Archaic to the Protohistoric periods. Charcoal from the pit yielded a conventional radiocarbon age of 6780 ± 80 BP, indicating an Early Archaic occupation. Pollen and macrofloral analyses were conducted...
