Charcoal from the fill of a basin-shaped hearth at the Elbee Village site (32ME408) was submitted for identification. This hearth was exposed in an erosional cutbank of the Knife River and contained an abundance of charcoal. The Elbee site is an extensive earthlodge village in west-central North Dakota dating to the A.D. 1500s. The hearth was found away from and stratigraphically below the level of the village and might reflect an earlier occupation of the area.

This study concerns itself with the palynological analysis of archaeological pollen recovered in Mancos Canyon, Colorado. There are numerous pollen studies from various parts of the southwest, including several in the Mesa Verde area which are indeed valuable for comparative purposes with the Mancos Canyon (cf. Maher 1963. Martin and Byers 1965. and Schoenwetter 1970). However, there have been no previous pollen studies in the Mancos Canyon proper with which to compare this study. Therefore, it...

Very little evidence to reconstruct the paleoenvironment exists for this area of Wyoming. The paleoenvironment may be addressed through several different data bases, including the pollen and phytolith records, which are discussed here. A limited amount of stratigraphic pollen analysis has been completed in this area, from which the paleoenvironment may be interpreted, although no stratigraphic phytolith analysis has been undertaken for this area. Archaeological sites 48FR1468 and 48FR1602,...

The MCX-CMAC utilizes the standard archival practice of unique naming of the collections. The purpose of this is to avoid redundant and confusing collection names commonly found with archaeological investigations. Therefore, this collection is referred to as "Perry Creek Associated Documentation.” This name is consistent throughout the finding aid, the file folders, and the box labels. The extent of this collection is one and one half linear feet. In 1972, the Corps of Engineers was planning...

A total of 26 sediment samples from agricultural field contexts were submitted for phytolith analysis from the site of Las Capas (AZ AA:12:111), which is located near Tucson, Arizona. Las Capas is an early agricultural period site that utilized canal irrigation for maize and possibly other cultivated plants. The sediments submitted for phytolith analysis are from Stratum 504, which spans a date range of 950 B.C. to 800 B.C., and places them within the San Pedro Phase Early Agriculture period....
