EXPLORATORY POLLEN ANALYSIS OF SEDIMENTS FROM LLACTA PATA AND INKA LLACTA, PERU (2002)
Pollen analysis was undertaken on sediments from two terrace systems, Llacta Pata and Inka Llacta in Peru. Sediments were collected in the field by Dr. Inge Schjellerup and submitted for analysis to Paleo Research Institute. This exploratory pollen analysis examined these samples to obtain an idea of the variety of pollen present, to evaluate the relative preservation of pollen within the sediments, and to obtain a record of vegetation in these areas, including any evidence of agriculture.

EXPLORATORY POLLEN AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS OF A PRIVY AT SITE 13LE442, IOWA (1996)
Pollen and macrofloral analyses were undertaken to identify elements of the historic diet recorded in a privy at the Dover village site (13LE442) in southeast Iowa. Parasite analysis yields evidence of parasite loads for users of this privy. The privy is believed to be associated with a general store that operated on this site from around 1840-1870 until approximately the turn of the century. Manufacturing dates for glass bottles recovered from the privy deposits indicate that the privy was...
EXPLORATORY POLLEN AND PHYTOLITH ANALYSIS 15CU21 AND 15CU43, KENTUCKY (1996)
Pollen and phytolith samples from Early Archaic, Early Holocene, and Late Pleistocene deposits were examined to assess local vegetation.

Two pollen and two phytolith samples were submitted for exploratory analysis from the Coco Station Site (46KA294) to determine the extent of preservation of the pollen and phytolith records. This exploratory analysis was undertaken as part of the testing of this site prior to excavation. The results of this exploratory analysis will be used to recommend future sampling strategy for both pollen and phytoliths during full scale excavation.
EXPLORATORY POLLEN AND PHYTOLITH ANALYSIS AT THREE SITES IN FRANCE: (LA TUREAU DE L'ABIME, UX94-1-G (UXEAU), AND UX94-2 (BOIS DE BUSSEROLE) (1995)
Pollen and phytolith samples were examined from selected deposits at three sites in France to examine recovery and state of preservation. La Tureau de L'Abime is an Iron Age burial mound with an age of about 800 BC. Samples from Uxeau represent part of a medieval moat or perimeter defense around the fortified priory of Uxeau during the tenth or eleventh century AD. Bois de Busserole is a well-preserved late Gaulish/early Gallo-Roman site probably occupied between the first century BC and...

These samples represent exposures 250 and 300 m inland from the contemporary mean tidal zone.
EXPLORATORY POLLEN AND PHYTOLITH ANALYSIS FOR THE TALEGA SITE (CA-ORA-907), SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA (2006)
Thirteen pollen and eight phytolith samples collected stratigraphically from sediments at CA-ORA-907 were examined to provide information necessary to reconstruct the past vegetation at the Talega site. The stratigraphic sediments reach a depth of. at least 61 feet, where a radiocarbon age of 14,980 ± 70 BP was obtained. Most of the sediments examined accumulated between approximately 15,000 BP and 8,000 BP and are anchored by one or more radiocarbon ages.

EXPLORATORY POLLEN, PHYTOLITH, AND FOSSILIZED WOOD IDENTIFICATION OF JURASSIC SAMPLES FROM A DINOSAUR QUARRY ON THE WARM SPRINGS RANCH, WYOMING (1996)
The Warm Springs Ranch in Thermopolis, Wyoming, is home to the "BS" dinosaur quarry, an Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation dated as Kimmeridgian -Tithonian (156-144 mya). Pollen analysis was undertaken on a sample of drab mudstone from the quarry layer, and phytolith analysis was attempted on a piece of lignitic material from the quarry layer. The seam of lignite was approximately 2-3 inches thick and perhaps a foot wide and might have been part of a tree trunk. A fossil wood sample was...

Pollen, starch, and phytolith analyses were conducted on two samples from the Aleonar site on Tagotong Hill, a ritual hilltop site of Neolithic Age on Cebu in the Philippines. Samples were collected from a midden accumulation in a probable ceremonial area. Analyses were conducted to identify both local vegetation and any evidence of ritual use of plants.
Farming on the Floodplain: Archaeology fo the Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport Center Runway (Runway 7L-25R) Reconstruction Project, Part 2: Appendices (2007)
Between December 2000 and June 2005 Archaeological Consulting Services, Ltd. (ACS) of Tempe, Arizona, completed five field sessions of archaeological monitoring, testing/data recovery I, and data recovery II. The entire airport is highly modified by grading, modern fill, paving, and building; thus, the ground surface offers few clues to what lies beneath. However, the airport is bounded by known historic and prehistoric archaeological sites, including Pueblo Salado to the immediate west and...

Farming the Floodplain: A Look at Prehistoric and Historic Land-Use along the Rillito (1992)
This report presents the results of a National Register evaluation of eight archaeological sites along the Rillito River in Tucson, Arizona. These sites were investigated at the request of the U.S. Army, Corps of Engineers in conjunction with a proposed channelization project along the river. One of the sites, AZ BB:9:689, has since been obscured by the channelization of Wildwood Wash by the Pima County Flood Control District. This site was monitored by SRI archaeologists during the construction...
