Site 48SU3993 exhibits three cultural components representing the Great Divide phase of the Early Archaic, the Opal phase of the Early Archaic, and the Pine Spring phase of the Late Archaic. Situated in the northern portion of the Wyoming Basin, this hunter-gatherer open camp represents multiple short-term residential camps. Pollen analysis of the modern surface, three stratigraphic samples, and nine thermal feature samples, as well as starch analysis of the same nine thermal feature samples,...

Site 48UT375 exhibits evidence of four human occupations, three of which range in age from Paleoindian to Middle Archaic, while the fourth remains undated. Stratigraphic analysis of twelve samples from site 48UT375, which yielded radiocarbon ages ranging from 4030 to 4220 BP for the upper component and 8300 to 8600 BP for the lower component, yielded a pollen record reflecting changes in local vegetation. In addition, examination of features representing the upper occupation provided a...

The site of Gegharot is located on the Tsaghkahovit Plain, a small, roughly triangular intermontane plateau measuring a maximum of 10-12 km wide and situated between the northern slope of Mt. Aragats, the southwestern slopes of the Pambak Range, and Mt. Kolgat in central western Armenia. This is the smallest and highest of three major plains that nestle at the base of Mt. Aragats. Specifically, this site lies immediately north of Mt. Vardablur, a 300 m high weathered massif that rises above...

As part of the excavation of the project area in Kahaluu Ahupua'a, sediment cores were extracted from open air water wells of unknown age. Three segments were sampled at various depths (between 17 and 35 cm) from two different cores and submitted for pollen and starch analysis. The sediment in the samples is composed of organic-rich loam with large seed pods and some detritus material visible (Trevor Yucha, personal communication, March 3, 2014).

Pollen and phytolith analysis of five samples representing three pits and two controls was undertaken in search of evidence of agriculture in these locations. Two of the locations samples are located approximately 200 m from the coast, while the third is located approximately 600 m from the coast.

Pollen associated with the San Dieguito I assemblage recovered at this site seems to be either of an earlier Pleistocene deposit on which the tools rest or a deposit incorporating a modern desert pollen spectrum.

Pollen samples were examined from Core 7, which was extracted from the base of the excavations at backhoe Trench 1, in the central portion of Mokuhinia Pond. Sediments recovered from this core between the ground water table at approximately 110 cm below the present ground surface, and 175 cm below the surface, were examined for pollen. Radiocarbon ages that may be associated with these sediments range from 290 +60 BP (AD 1459-1681) through 3020 +60 BP(BC 1406-1111). Pollen analysis of the...

The project objective was to determine if innundation of an archaeological site beneath the waters of a reservoir had a detrimental effect on the pollen of archaeological-context sediment samples. Poor planning, poor field execution of a sampling program, and incompetant program administration caused failure of the research effort.

Pilot study to assess the type of archaeological-context pollen samples most likely to yield results commensurate with investment. Results suggest floor sediment and floor feature fill deposits will yield better data for developing a pollen sequence than floor contact deposits. Paleoenvironmental reconstruction, however, will require financial support for a major surface sample control research effort that cannot be justified as site-focussed cultural resources management.

Study of 23 pollen samples associated with archaeological sites in the Walhalla Glades district of Grand Canyon National Park yields surface sample data not consistant with prior research, possibly because the samples are actually of sediment deposited during the period the sites were occupied. Pollen record suggests local prehistoric cultivation in a paleoenvironment quite distinct from that presently occurring in this district.

Two soil samples collected from excavations at the Ward Village Shops Pier 1 Parking Lot were submitted for pollen analysis. An organic-rich “peaty” clay stratum that was identified beneath layers of imported fill was examined because it might represent an agricultural deposit or a natural low-lying marsh deposit. Pollen analysis was conducted to identify whether or not evidence for agriculture was present.

Eight surface pollen samples and 41 subsurface samples from 4 archaeological sites were analyzed as part of a Laboratory of Anthropology (NM) salvage project to determine (a) applicability of the Colorado Plateau Pollen Chronology and (b) if environmental/vegetation patterns were similar or distinct at the time of occupation than those evidenced palynologically today. Concludes that CPPC does not apply in this district and that vegetation patterns were distinct. Data tables and pollen diagrams...

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.

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.

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

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.

Report intended for inclusion in a volume on the archaeological salvage program undertaken in the Cahokia area of the American Bottoms under University of Illinois direction (Charles Baeris) in 1960-63. Said volume was never produced. This report identified an American Bottoms pollen sequence for Mississippian Culture occupation horizons, it offered absolute date estimates for those horizons on the basis of radiocarbon and pollen cross-dating for segments of the sequence, and it advanced...

Squash and possible maize pollen in sediment samples from checkdams suggests the features are prehistoric and were used for crop production. No evidence that local environment was different when the features were used.
