Stratigraphic samples were examined for both pollen and phytoliths from two archaeological sites (33Le396 and 33Le405) to identify vegetation and changes in vegetation that can provide information concerning paleoenvironmental conditions. Features at site 33Le405 yielded radiocarbon ages indicating Early to Late Woodland occupations, whereas site 33Le396 appears to have been occupied during the Middle Woodland. Feature samples were examined for pollen and phytoliths from each of these site...

Among these were three sites, all located along Sand Creek near the center of the modern base, that have been identified as early 20th-century maple sugar...
