POLLEN, MACROFLORAL, AND CHARCOAL ANALYSIS AT 5GA120B, MIDDLE PARK, COLORADO (1988)
Two pollen columns and a single feature were examined for pollen from 5GA120B in Middle Park. Macrofloral remains and charcoal were also identified from the hearth. Pollen analysis was undertaken to provide paleoenvironmental information specifically for the periods of occupation, such as Folsom, and generally for the Holocene, as well as identification of vegetation change at the Pleistocene/Holocene boundary. Pollen and macrofloral remains were analyzed from Feature 1, a hearth, in an...
POLLEN, PHYTOLITH, CHARCOAL, AND FIBER ANALYSIS AT CA-IMP-6427, CALIFORNIA (1996)
Six paired pollen and phytolith samples, as well as a charcoal sample and several fiber and bark samples, were examined from the Elmore Site (CA-IMP-6427) in the Imperial Valley of California.
