Pollen samples were analyzed from three sites (AZ N:4:23, PD-11, and PD-12) near Tuzigoot National Monument in the Verde Valley. Occupations include Hohokam, Sinagua, and historic Yavapai. Pollen samples collected at these sites represent living surfaces, a roasting pit, and two rock piles. Pollen analysis identified cultigens grown and addresses the subsistence base.

Stratigraphic pollen samples were collected from two sites in the Santa Fe National Forest of the Jemez Mountain Range. These sites are believed to have functioned as obsidian procurement areas. Pollen samples were collected from stratigraphic units at both samples, and were analyzed to provide paleoenvironmental data.

Twelve pollen samples were examined from sediments of a probable water collection facility in Morefield Canyon, Colorado. This study was designed to evaluate the deposition of sediments deposited into this facility to contribute to the interpretation of the function of this feature. These samples were selected from deposits with differing flow rates to compare the pollen contents of these sediments and to assist in identifying the origin of the sediments.

Pruitt Shelter No. 1 (3NW1308) is situated along a steep bluff face of the Buffalo River, Newton County, Arkansas. Site 3NW1308 is estimated to have been occupied during the Late Pleistocene or Early Holocene, as well as during the Early Archaic through the Late Mississippian, the latter represented by lithics recovered from the site. A midden that appears to have been deposited between approximately AD 600 and 1600 was sampled for pollen analysis.

Pollen and phytolith samples were examined from a variety of occupational proveniences within areas 8/9 and 14 at Pueblo Salado to examine the subsistence record. In addition to identifying vegetal elements of the subsistence base, examination of pollen from occupational proveniences provides evidence of patterns of economic activities. Pollen may contribute to an understanding of functional differentiation of space at Pueblo Salado, an element of Problem Domain I. Examination of the pollen...

Site AZ T:12:413(ASM) contains evidence of occupation during at least the Pioneer, Sedentary, and Classic periods. Ceramics, which were primarily plainware, did not provide good temporal resolution. The area probably was used for farming and related activities over a period of centuries. Pollen samples were collected from a variety of locations at this site, and samples were selected for analysis from the Pioneer, Sedentary, and Classic periods. The samples represent a variety of protein in...

Thirteen stratigraphic samples were submitted for pollen analysis from site 36WO80, Deer Park, Pennsylvania. The site is located along Tunkhannock Creek in Wyoming County. The stratigraphic record, including some flood episodes, represents an period of sediment accumulation during the Mid-to-Late-Archaic, based on recovery of projectile points.

One soil sample from Site 48SU6933, the Gobblers Know 327 site, was submitted for examination of pollen remains. This prehistoric open camp is located in Sublette County, southwestern Wyoming. Radiocarbon dates from two features at this site returned dates of 3660 ± 40 YBP and 5380 ± 40 YBP, indicating occupation of this site during the Pine Spring phase of the Late Archaic period, and the Opal phase of the Early Archaic period (Joni Stainbrook, personal communication, December 6, 2010). Pollen...

During the construction monitor of the Wexpro Company Musser 31, 38, 39, and Carl Allen 37 well pad in the Vermillion Basin of northwestern Colorado, features were discovered that were identified as part of sites 5MF6875 and 5MF7411. Feature 16 yielded a radiocarbon age of 5750 ± 40 BP and has been associated with nearby site 5MF6875. The other four features dated between 860 ± 30 BP and 1690 ± 30 BP. Pollen analysis was undertaken on fill from each of these features in an effort to identify...

Two pollen samples were collected and examined from Feature T-11212011-2C, which is a small rock mound that probably represents an agricultural feature on the island of Lanai’i, Hawai’i. The feature is situated on a soil-covered-lava-slope on the North Shore. Pollen analysis was undertaken to identify probable agricultural crops grown in this location.

Site 33Li1948, a small Middle Woodland occupation located in Licking County, Ohio, was sampled for pollen during Phase II site evaluation. Samples examined represent post molds, pits and possible pits, and control samples. Pollen analysis was used to identify vegetation growing in the vicinity of the site at the time of occupation and to search for evidence of economic activity.

Two samples from cylindrilical deep basin hearths and one sample from a housepit floor from Carbon County, Wyoming were submitted for pollen analysis. The site, 48CR5699, consists of a multiple housepits and a community area located along a bench of an unnamed tributary of Muddy Creek in south central Wyoming.

Seven soil samples from Batacosa SON:S:7:2 in Sonora, Mexico, were examined for pollen. Six of these samples were collected stratigraphically from Perfil 1, and the seventh represents fill from a burial. Ceramic seriation for this site indicates that it was occupied between AD 200 and 1500 by people of the Huatabampo culture. Pollen analysis of the stratigraphic samples provides information concerning local plant communities and the paleoenvironment, including documenting plants available for...

Two locations on a Payette River island were examined for pollen to document vegetation association with the sediments. This pollen record of vegetation was examined for evidence of both native plants and plants introduced during the Historic Era.

Site 8HN54 includes two former tree islands that exhibit middens and represents occupation between Glades I and late Glades II (Ad 500-1100). Stratigraphic samples collected from these two former tree islands in the Everglades were examined for pollen to obtain information concerning climate change and available plant resources.

Stratigraphic pollen analysis was undertaken at sites CA-SDI-316, CA-SDI-317, and CASDI-4935B, located within the C. W. Harris Site Archaeological District of the Starwood Project Area in Santa Fe Valley, to identify past vegetation. Pollen samples were collected at 10 cm intervals. In addition, pollen analysis can contribute to an evaluation of the degree of disturbance of deposits containing cultural materials because pollen from plants introduced during the historic era is usually very...

The Darkmold Site, 5LP4991, represents Basketmaker II and Basketmaker III occupations in the Animal River Valley north of Durango, Colorado. A suite of ten sediment samples were submitted for pollen analysis. Eight of these samples were collected from features, three of which contained burials. The remaining two samples were collected from stratigraphic contexts for the purpose of providing environmental information and controls that would assist in the interpretation of the feature samples.

Pollen columns and cultural features were examined from five archaeological sites in Drews Valley, Oregon. Radiocarbon ages from these sites place their occupation between Middle Holocene and recent. The single exception is the presence of Mazama ash at the La Sere Site (35LK2101), which indicates that the lowest sediments predate 6000 BP. Drews Valley is situated at the western edge of Goose Lake Basin, an internally draining sub-basin of the northern Great Basin. Stratigraphic samples were...

Pollen analysis at six sites represents part of the archaeological work on the Ramah Michael's, Land Exchange (the Clo-Chen-Toh Project). This joint venture between the University of New Mexico, New Mexico State University, and the Cibola National Forest has provided pollen samples from several years excavations, ranging from 1983 through 1989. A previous study (Scott 1984) and this one have been combined to discuss the pollen record at these sites. Pollen samples represent the present ground...

Site 5RB1463 is located on a terrace overlooking Little Bull Draw at an elevation of 6200 feet in a pinon/juniper community. Four pollen samples were taken at this site in an effort to define the paleoenvironment and possibly also obtain subsistence data. Radiocarbon dates ranging from 940 + 50 BP to 2000 + 60 BP were returned for two features, indicating both Fremont and Late Archaic occupation of this site.
