2,776-2,800 (2,989 Records)
Companion pollen and phytolith samples were examined from strata in the west wall of Block A at the Cove Creek site (10LH144). Radiocarbon ages of 8620 + 70 BP and 6920 + 50 BP provide an early and a middle age for this stratigraphic sequence. Mazama ash also provides a temporal marker of 6845 BP. The cultural zone above the Mazama ash yielded an age of 6650 + 80 BP for Feature 96-16 and McKean points that indicate this zone may represent accumulation over several thousand years. The...
STRATIGRAPHIC POLLEN AND PHYTOLITH ANALYSIS AT THE EAGLE CREEK SITE (24PA301) NEAR GARDINER, MONTANA (1995)
Eight sediment samples were collected stratigraphically from an excavation unit at the Eagle Creek Site (24PA301) near Gardiner, Montana. This multicomponent site yielded radiocarbon ages of 570 + 60 BP and 530 + 60 BP from the occupation levels near the base of this stratigraphic profile. Pollen and phytolith analyses were undertaken to describe the prehistoric and historic vegetation at the Eagle Creek Site for the past approximately 600 years.
STRATIGRAPHIC POLLEN AND PHYTOLITH ANALYSIS AT THE STEEL'S PASS ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITE (24MA565), SOUTHWESTERN MONTANA (1992)
Nine stratigraphic soil samples were collected and examined for both pollen and phytoliths from the Steel's Pass archaeological site (24MA565). This site is located on the southeast-facing flank of the Highland Mountains in southwestern Montana. Stratigraphic pollen and phytolith analyses were undertaken to provide information concerning past vegetation communities to allow interpretation of the paleoenvironment.
STRATIGRAPHIC POLLEN AND PHYTOLITH ANALYSIS FOR SAMPLES FROM SITES 34BV166, 34BV181, 34WO69, BULL CREEK AREA, OKLAHOMA (2007)
Additional samples were submitted for pollen and phytolith analysis from various sites (34BV166, 34BV181, 34BV182, an 34WO69) near Bull Creek, Oklahoma. Data from these samples was merged with data obtained from previous analyses to provide a more complete interpretation of the paleoenvironmental record. Most of these samples represent sediments estimated to represent either Late Pleistocene or Early Holocene deposits. A radiocarbon age of 12,300 ± 80 BP anchors the middle of the record...
STRATIGRAPHIC POLLEN AND PHYTOLITH ANALYSIS OF SOILS FROM 32BI3l7, BILLINGS, NORTH DAKOTA (1982)
Thirteen soil samples were removed from a stratigraphic column at the Marsh Hawk site (32BI3l7) for pollen and phytolith analysis (Table 1). The site is located in a ridge running in a southeast/northwest direction on the east side of the Little Missouri Badlands. The study area contains a high density of archaeological sites. The paucity of paleoenvironmental studies of this area has lead to the analyis of these 13 samples for their pollen and phytolith remains. The primary purpose of...
STRATIGRAPHIC POLLEN AND PHYTOLITH ANALYSIS OF SOILS FROM 32DU285, DUNN COUNTY, NORTH DAKOTA (1982)
Eleven soil samples were removed from a stratigraphic column on the east wall of excavation unit (XU) 61 at 32DU285 for pollen and phytolith analysis (Table 1). In addition, a twelfth sample was taken from a fluvial deposit below the level of the stratigraphic column and south of XU 61, which dates to the late Wisconsin or early Holocene Period. The site is located on the edge of a bluff overlooking the Knife River in north-central Dunn County, North Dakota. The purpose of the pollen and...
STRATIGRAPHIC POLLEN AND PHYTOLITH ANALYSIS OF SOILS FROM 32DU60S, DUNN COUNTY, NORTH DAKOTA (1983)
Four soil samples were removed from a stratigraphic column taken from the north wall of Test Unit 8 at the Tysver-Olson Site (32DU605) for pollen and phytolith analysis (Table 1). A fifth sample was taken from the matrix associated with carbonized bone, which produced a radiocarbon date of 5345 BP. The site is located in a shallow basin on the top of a narrow northwest-southeast trending ridge in Dunn County, North Dakota. The purpose of the pollen and phytolith study is to evaluate...
STRATIGRAPHIC POLLEN, PHYTOLITH, AND DIATOM ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES FROM THE MAMMOTH SITE (41BX1239), TEXAS (2011)
Sample were collected stratigraphically from the west wall of Backhoe Trench 7 at the Mammoth Site (41BX1239) in Bexar County, Texas. These samples were originally designated for diatom and/or phytolith analysis. Upon review of soil conditions at the site, pollen analysis was recommended as the first priority. Due to high sediment pH, diatom and phytolith dissolution was identified as a potential problem. Analysis proceeded on these sediments for the recovery and identification of pollen,...

The Structure and Organization of Basketmaker III Field Houses at the Cottonwood Seep Site (1993)
Early settlement of the Cottonwood Seep Site consisted of small, informal pit structures and large jacal surface structures that were used on a seasonal basis for a period from approximately A.D. 500 until about A.D. 800. This paper examines the structure and organization of the Basketmaker III settlement, focusing on group organization, site function, resource availability, and environmental considerations. Unlike many of the surrounding Basketmaker III field house sites, the Cottonwood Seep...

Studies in the Hohokam Community of Marana (1987)
The Hohokam community of Marana is a complex of residential neighborhoods, agricultural fields, and seasonal gathering stations dispersed over an area of about 20 square miles. The Marana community complex is an example of a settlement type common to the Classic period of the Hohokam. The diagnostic characteristic of these complexes is the association of platform mounds, walled compounds, and large residential neighborhoods in a dispersed pattern covering several square miles (such as is found...
A STUDY OF ETHNOBOTANIC POLLEN FROM 5MTUMR2785 MANCOS CANYON, COLORADO (1977)
Mancos Canyon has been the site of ongoing archaeological investigations by.the University of Colorado for several years in connection with the development of the Ute Mountain Archaeological Park. Pollen analysis has supplemented the archaeological analysis since 1974. While previous pollen studies have focused on the recovery of general environmental data about the sites and their features, this study was designed to sample for ethnobotanic pollen. The basic purpose of the study is to...
SUBSISTENCE DATA FROM ANASAZI SITES ON THE NORTH LEASE OF THE MCKINLEY MINE, NEW MEXICO: THE POLLEN AND MACROFLORAL RECORDS (1985)
Pollen and macrofloral analyses were undertaken on samples from several prehistoric sites on the North lease area of the McKinley Mine for the purpose of assessing the subsistence base of the inhabitants of these sites. In the case of site NL86 pollen and macrofloral samples were taken from stratigraphic columns and from the trash midden (Feature 6). Pollen only was recovered from the post-occupational fill of the kiva (Feature 8). Both pollen and macrofloral remains were recovered from...
SUBSISTENCE DATA FROM THE POLLEN, MACROFLORAL, AND FAUNAL RECORDS AT THE TEXAS CREEK OVERLOOK SITE (1983)
Subsistence analysis of materials obtained during archaeological mitigation of 5RB2435 in Rio Blanco County, Colorado, encompasses both floral and faunal remains. Pollen and macrofloral analyses were employed to examine the vegetal components of the diet, while faunal analysis was used to assess the animal or meat portion of the diet. The Texas Creek Overlook Site (5RB2435) is unique in the Douglas Creek/Evacuation Creek area, as it is a prehistoric masonry structure located on an isolated...
SUBSISTENCE RECONSTRUCTION AT FOUR SITES ALONG THE JOHNSON CANYON ROAD, SOUTHWESTERN COLORADO: THE POLLEN RECORD (1985)
Pollen analysis was undertaken at five prehistoric sites within the Mancos Canyon Historical District in conjunction with archaeological mitigation. These five sites lie in the right-of-way of UMU Route 206, Montezuma County, Colorado. The sites are located on the mesatop south of Johnson Canyon. The present environment in the vicinity of these sites has been altered considerably within the past 30 years due to chaining activities. This area was probably covered by a moderately dense stand...
