DIETARY INFERENCES FROM HOY HOUSE COPROLITES: A PALYNOLOGICAL INTERPRETATION (1978)
The pollen analysis of 59 coprolites from Hoy House and Lion House in Johnson Canyon, Colorado, has yielded information concerning the diet of the Anasazi living at these sites during PIII times. Based on combined pollen and macro-floral analyses, the diet appears to be composed primarily of the cultigens Zea, Cucurbita, and Phaseolus, with heavy reliance on the possibly encouraged Cleome, and other manipulated or wild plants including the Cheno-ams, Oryzopsis, Physalis , and the Umbelliferae ....
Digitizing The Anasazi Origins Project: A Geodatabase (2013)
Archaeology is faced with the inheritance problem of managing legacy collections, partly due to the high expense of maintaining them. Often these datasets are unorganized, thus rendering them underutilized, and difficult to properly preserve or to integrate into the current archaeological dialogue. Unfortunately, this problem is a common issue. To address this problem, an examination of the condition of the records and artifacts of legacy archaeological collections is needed. In this thesis,...
