POLLEN, MACROFLORAL, AND PROTEIN RESIDUE ANALYSES AT SITE LA 134890, NEW MEXICO (2002)
A packrat midden from inside a small, south-facing rockshelter (site LA 134890) in southeast New Mexico was sampled for pollen and macrofloral remains. The remains of a burned packrat midden and general fill of the shelter also were examined for macrofloral remains. Charcoal samples from the packrat midden and from the shelter fill were identified prior to submission for radiocarbon analysis, while four lithic flakes were tested for possible protein residues. Radiocarbon analysis of charcoal...

POLLEN, MACROFLORAL, PROTEIN RESIDUE ANALYSIS, AND AMS RADIOCARBON DATING AT SITE 42GR3164 ON THE PROFESSOR VALLEY RANCH, SOUTHEAST UTAH (2004)
A soil column at site 42GR3164 in the Professor Valley Ranch, southeast Utah, was sampled for pollen and macrofloral remains. The soil column was placed in an area that is believed to have been the location where a large comer-notched knife made of gray chert was previously found by workers installing an irrigation pipe in a hayfield, and it appeared to be at the edge of prehistoric site 42GR3164, which had been recorded at an earlier date. The irrigation pipe trench was re-opened, and a...
POLLEN, MACROFLORAL, PROTEIN RESIDUE, AND ORGANIC RESIDUE (FTIR) ANALYSES OF ARTIFACTS AND SOIL SAMPLES FROM SITES 42KA4478 AND 42KA6293, KANE COUNTY, UTAH (2008)

POLLEN, PHYTOLITH, AND PROTEIN RESIDUE ANALYSIS OF GROUNDSTONE AND IDENTIFICATION AND AMS RADIOCARBON ANALYSIS OF CHARCOAL FROM SITE 48AB18, WYOMING (2007)
Site 48AB18 represents a buried prehistoric occupation on the top and north side of north-trending Strouss Hill in southeast Wyoming. First identified in 1980, this site has a long history of archaeological investigation. The upper component was radiocarbon dated to 1555 ± 75 BP during a previous investigation, while the lower component is anchored by recovery of a McKean-type point suggesting occupation during the Middle Archaic. Three pieces of groundstone were washed to recover pollen,...
POLLEN, PHYTOLITH, MACROFLORAL AND/OR PROTEIN RESIDUE ANALYSIS AT SITES CA-VEN-477 AND CA-VEN-920, CALIFORNIA (1997)
Two sites in Ventura County, California were sampled for pollen, phytoliths, protein residue, and macrofloral remains. Site CA-VEN-477 appears to have been occupied during the Middle to Late Period (after 1000 B.C.), and was situated on a low knoll overlooking a drainage at the mouth of a canyon. Two pollen, two phytolith, two protein residue, and four macrofloral samples were examined from this site. Pollen, phytolith, and protein residue samples were examined from the wash of a mano and an...
POLLEN, PHYTOLITH, MACROFLORAL, AND PROTEIN RESIDUE ANALYSES AT FOUR SITES ON NAVAJO ROUTE N2007, APACHE COUNTY, NORTHEAST ARIZONA (1993)
