2,176-2,200 (2,989 Records)
Samples from a dry cave and a rock shelter at 42DA1269 in northeast Utah were examined for pollen/starch and macrofloral remains to provide evidence of plants that might have utilized by the occupants of these two shelters. One charred tissue fragment was submitted for PET analysis to recover starches and/or phytoliths to aid in identification. Ungulate dung from the lowest level of the dry cave yielded a date of 14,330 cal BP. These fecal pellets were analyzed for protein residues to...
POLLEN, MACROFLORAL, AND PROTEIN RESIDUE ANALYSES OF A MORTAR AND PESTLE FROM SITE CA-CCO-283, CALIFORNIA (2001)

Pollen, macrofloral, charcoal, and corn cob samples were examined from Deer Creek Rockshelter (42GA3128), located near Boulder, Utah. This shallow rockshelter contains Late Archaic/Formative materials. Proximity of this shelter to the Coombs site in Boulder indicates that upper levels of this rockshelter might contain Anasazi materials. Pollen, macrofloral, and charcoal analyses were undertaken to identify economic activities within the rockshelter and identify local woody plants and/or...

POLLEN, MACROFLORAL, PROTEIN RESIDUE ANALYSIS, AND AMS RADIOCARBON DATING AT SITE 42GR3164 ON THE PROFESSOR VALLEY RANCH, SOUTHEAST UTAH (2004)
A soil column at site 42GR3164 in the Professor Valley Ranch, southeast Utah, was sampled for pollen and macrofloral remains. The soil column was placed in an area that is believed to have been the location where a large comer-notched knife made of gray chert was previously found by workers installing an irrigation pipe in a hayfield, and it appeared to be at the edge of prehistoric site 42GR3164, which had been recorded at an earlier date. The irrigation pipe trench was re-opened, and a...
POLLEN, MACROFLORAL, PROTEIN RESIDUE, AND ORGANIC RESIDUE (FTIR) ANALYSES OF ARTIFACTS AND SOIL SAMPLES FROM SITES 42KA4478 AND 42KA6293, KANE COUNTY, UTAH (2008)
Sites 42Ka4478 and 42Ka6293 are prehistoric Virgin Anasazi occupations located north of Kanab, Utah, and east of Kanab Creek. Radiocarbon dates of 1570 ± 40 BP and 1670 ± 40 BP from 42Ka4478 reflect a Basketmaker occupation, while the presence of decorated ceramics and radiocarbon dates from corn cobs of 1340 ± 40 BP and 1170 ± 40 BP at 42Ka6293 indicate a Pueblo I association. Samples from features at sites 42Ka4478 and 42Ka6293 were examined for pollen and/or macrofloral remains to provide...
POLLEN, MACROFLORAL, PROTEIN RESIDUE, AND ORGANIC RESIDUE (FTIR) ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES FROM SITES ALONG NINE MILE CANYON, UTAH (2013)
Fill samples from various features at sites along Nine Mile Canyon in northeast Utah were examined for pollen and macrofloral remains. Two projectile points were tested for protein residues to determine animal resources that might have been hunted using these tools. Seven pieces of fire-cracked rock (FCR) were examined for organic residues using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). Radiocarbon dates, rock art, artifact assemblages, and the presence of corn indicate that many of the...

The Stateline Solar Farm (SSF) Project Area, located in the Mojave’s Desert’s Ivanpah Valley, San Bernardino County, California, occupies a predominately flat area between several mountain ranges. Lakebed and alluvial fans dating through the Pleistocene as well as a Precambrian outcrop comprise the 6,487 acres encompassed by the project area (Hannah Hicok, personal communication May 6, 2015). During construction monitoring archaeologists located four possible hearths (STM-034, STM-036, STM-040,...
POLLEN, PARASITE, AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS OF A 19TH CENTURY PRIVY SAMPLE FROM THE SARGENT STREET SITE, COHOES, ALBANY COUNTY, NEW YORK (2018)
The Sargent Street Site lies within a 1.3 acre block in Cohoes, Albany County, New York. Trenches excavated in the northern portion of the block exposed various historic deposits, including a wood-lined privy (Adam Luscier, personal communication January 19, 2018). The night soil situated below an approximately 30 cm thick layer of coal was sampled for pollen, parasite, and macrofloral analysis. Macrofloral and pollen analysis identify plant foods consumption and trash disposal during mid- to...
POLLEN, PARASITE, AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS OF PRIVY FILL FROM THE 2ND LOS PINOS INDIAN AGENCY (5OR139EAST), COLORADO (2002)
Privy fill from the 2nd Los Pinos Indian Agency (5OR139East) near Montrose, Colorado, was examined for pollen, parasites, and macrofloral remains to identify elements of the diet and parasites present. This privy is believed to be associated with the mess house at the Indian Agency, which operated from 1875 to 1881. Pollen and macrofloral analysis of the privy fill will be used to provide information concerning foods eaten and trash disposed of by the privy users. Parasite analysis will...
