Red Canyon Ranch, located in the foothills of the Owl Creek Mountains southwest of Thermopolis, Wyoming, contains evidence for multiple human occupations from Paleoindian to Historic times. Archaeological investigations and subsequent archaeobotanical analyses and radiocarbon age determinations span a period of several years and are currently ongoing. To facilitate these analyses, a single site designation of 48HO375 has been assigned. The earliest investigation centered on two hearths: one...

Samples from four prehistoric thermal features at site 26CK6658 were examined for pollen and macrofloral remains. Charred material from each of these features also was submitted for AMS radiocarbon dating. These features were examined as part of the Laughlin Regional Heritage Greenway Trail Monitoring Project in southern Nevada. This project is located along the Colorado River from Davis Dam south into the city of Laughlin. Pollen and macrofloral analyses were used to determine plant resources...

Fill from a hearth at site LA 123811 (FB 8612) on the Fort Bliss Military Installation in Otero County, New Mexico, was floated to recover charred macrofloral remains, then obtain a radiocarbon date on identified charcoal. A groundstone recovered from the hearth fill was examined for pollen, phytoliths, and organic residues, the latter using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). Ethnobotanic analyses of the hearth fill and the groundstone wash will be used to provide subsistence...

The Cutter Lateral is one of the major pipelines comprising the Navajo-Gallup Water Supply Project (NGWSP) located in San Juan County and Navajo Nation land in northwestern New Mexico. A total of 51 features from 13 sites (LA178231, LA147736, LA171407, LA45824, NM-G-30-51, LA36578, LA156932, LA179182, NM-G-43-49, NM-G-34-56, NM-G-43-55, NM-G-34-48, and NM-G-34-46) encountered along three segments (Reach 22A, 22B, 21) of the Cutter Lateral and an off-site trench (BHT9) were sampled for...

Four macrofloral samples were submitted for analysis from CA-ORA-3221/1118. Upon receipt of a prehistoric date for shells from the shell midden and a recent historic date for charred seeds, this project was canceled. Information presented below represents analysis completed prior to cancellation. All four macrofloral samples submitted were floated and one sample had been sorted and inventoried prior to cancellation of this project.

Fiber and rib material from a coated basket recovered in a rockshelter site in Val Verde County, Texas, was submitted for identification to determine the construction material for the basket. Black residue removed from the inside surface of the basket was examined for pollen, phytoliths, and organic residues (using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy) to obtain a better understanding of the residue. The basket was found covering an infant burial that had been wrapped in two layers of...

Site 13DB889 is situated within a historic, urban neighborhood along Rhomberg and Kniest Streets in the City of Dubuque, Iowa. The nineteenth to twenty-first century homes were occupied predominantly by working-class, German Catholic residents (Leah D. Rogers, personal communication August 10, 2016). Several privies, possibly used into the 1910s, were sampled for pollen, parasite, and macrofloral analyses. Pollen and macrofloral analyses of privy fill provide information concerning foods eaten...

Site 42WS5162 is located in Washington County, Utah, near St. George, at elevations ranging from 800 to 1100 meters above sea level. The site falls predominantly within the Mojave Basin and Range Level III ecoregion (Patricia Stavish, personal communication October 17, 2017). Ten samples from various features were submitted for macrofloral, pollen, and/or FTIR analysis.

Six soil samples from four fire-cracked rock features at the Malin Creek Fishing Hole Site, 24YE353, in Yellowstone National Park, Montana, were floated to recover macrofloral remains. One metate was washed to recover pollen, starches, and possible protein residues that would aid in identifying plants processed using the metate. Lithic artifacts and radiocarbon dates reflect Late Paleoindian, McKean (3500-1000 B.C.), Pelican Lake (1000 B.C. to A.D. 400), and Avonlea (A.D. 250-1000)...

A ceramic vessel, recovered on the west side of Pikes Peak, Colorado exhibited charred residue on the interior. This residue was scraped off for microscopic analysis. In addition, a wash of the interior surface of the vessel under the residue was collected also for microscopic analysis. Microscopic analysis included a search for any pollen, phytoliths, or starches visible in the samples to provide evidence of foods that might have been cooked in the vessel.

AZ BB:9:148 (ASM) was a Hohokam seasonal or temporary habitation and resource procurement and processing locale located in the northwestern Tucson Basin in the southern half of Neighborhood 12 of the Rancho Vistoso Property within the limits of the Town of Oro Valley, Arizona. Between August 25 and September 22, 1999, SWCA, Inc., Environmental Consultants conducted excavations at the site as a combined testing and data-recovery effort. Eighty-one features were identified during the project,...

A sandstone mortar recovered from the Tule Creek Village (CA-SNI-25) on San Nicolas Island in the Channel Islands of California was submitted for organic residue analysis. The artifact was tested for organic residues using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). This analysis provides information concerning the compounds that were extracted from the mortar. Information concerning foods that might have been ground using the mortar is derived from matches with our reference library of raw...

A cast iron cooking pot was retrieved from 660T22 during GHMPR SGang Gwaay Storm Damage mitigation in Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve. Basal sediment was submitted for starch and organic residue analysis, the latter using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectropscopy (FTIR) to search for evidence of this pot’s use.

Three of the archaeological sites mitigated in connection with the 345kv Intermountain - Mona Line 1 were sampled for pollen. These three sites (42Md620, 42Md827, and 42Md828) are located in the northeastern portion of Millard County in western Utah. Sites 42Md828 and 42Md827 are located in semi-stabilized sand dunes along the eastern edge of the Sevier Desert, approximately .95 km south of the Sevier River. Site 42Md620 is located in the Fishlake National Forest at the western base of the...

The paleoenvironmental record at Lime Creek is composed of both pollen and phytolith data. Examination of the pollen and phytolith record is based on analysis of single pollen and phytolith samples per stratum yielding radiocarbon ages and three additional pollen samples. Sample selection paralleled sample selection for radiocarbon dates and geomorphic samples to maximize interpretability of these records. Samples spaced this far apart, of course, allow only a cursory examination of...

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...

A rock shelter, site 5ME217 in Mesa County, Colorado was the site of archaeological investigation by the Office of Public and Contract Archaeology. Pollen samples were taken from the occupational levels of the rock shelter in an effort to determine whether or not pollen was preserved in the cultural levels, and to study the paleoenvironment.

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,...
