Roasting Pit Fill (Other Keyword)
1-6 (6 Records)
Five samples from the fill of two roasting pits at the Mega site, AZ 88:9:375 (ASM), in Pima County, Arizona, were examined for macrofloral remains. The two roasting pits are visible on the site surface, which is covered with a light scatter of ceramic and lithic artifacts. Macrofloral analysis is used to provide information on use of plant resources by the site occupants, in order to help address research questions concerning social and economic organization.
MACROFLORAL AND FTIR ANALYSIS OF ROASTING PIT FILL AT SITE 5RB709, NORTHWEST COLORADO (2007)
Fill from two roasting pits at site 5RB709 in northwest Colorado were examined for macrofloral remains. The fill from one of the roasting pits also was examined using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometry (FTIR). The site was tested as part of the Northwest Pipeline Corporation's proposed 2006 Vernal Recoat Project. The roasting pits are associated with Fremont occupation of the site, dating to AD 780-1030. Macrofloral analysis will be used to provide subsistence information concerning...
PHYTOLITH ANALYSIS FOR SITES LA 103049, LA 126416, AND LA 126421, QUAIL RANCH, NEW MEXICO (2007)
Three sites in the Quail Ranch Data Recovery Project were selected for phytolith analysis. A total of twelve phytolith samples were examined from hearths, roasting pits, and middens to assess local vegetation and plants that might have been cooked or roasted. These sites range in age from Middle to Late Archaic.
POLLEN ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES FROM SITES 5EP46 AND 5LA10370, PINON CANYON, COLORADO (2005)
Sites 5EP46 and 5LA10370 on the Pinon Canyon Maneuver Site were sampled for pollen to identify evidence of food or plant processing.
POLLEN AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS AT SITE 42DA1094, NORTHEAST UTAH (2004)
Six pollen and eight macrofloral samples were examined from site 42DA1094, a multi-use site situated at an elevation of 5640 feet in a pinyon/juniper woodland. This site includes roasting pits and three brush structures that yielded radiocarbon ages from 1120 ± 60 BP to 1550 ± 60 BP. The three brush structures are superimposed on one another. Pollen and macrofloral samples were studied to provide information concerning subsistence of the various occupants of this site and to provide a...
POLLEN AND PHYTOLITH ANALYSIS OF SHELL PIT AND ROASTING PIT SAMPLES, SITE 38CH1693, A SMALL THOM'S CREEK SITE, CHARLESTON COUNTY, SOUTH CAROLINA (2006)
Four pollen and phytolith samples were examined from shell pits at 38CH1693. This site yielded four radiocarbon ages that indicate occupation between approximately 3720 ± 50 or 60 BP and 3930 ± 50 BP. A fifth phytolith sample was examined from a roasting pit at this site. These analyses were conducted to examine the microscopic record for prehistoric vegetation and potential uses of these pits. Whole oyster shells were recovered from all of the pits, although burned shells are reported only...
