Pollen Analyses
376-400 (715 Records)
The fill from a basin-shaped charcoal-stained sediment anomaly exposed in a sand dune at site 42UN2372 in northeast Utah was examined for pollen and macrofloral remains. A pollen control also was collected from the modern dune surface. Charcoal from this feature yielded a radiocarbon age of 3700-3490 BP, suggesting an Archaic occupation. Pollen and macrofloral samples were examined in an effort to help identify the function of this anomaly, which is believed to represent the remains of a...
POLLEN AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS AT SITE 42UN2889, UTAH (2002)
Samples from pit features at site 42UN2889 in northeast Utah were sampled for pollen and macrofloral remains. In addition, pollen samples were recovered from the modern ground surface just off site, from a layer of sand that includes the upper meter of sediments exposed in the pipeline trench wall, and from a clayey/caliche stratum underneath the sand. The paucity of artifacts found at the site, combined with the abundance of groundstone and small features, suggests that 42UN2889 is a...
POLLEN AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS AT SITE 48001712 IN THE POWDER BASIN, NORTHEASTERN WYOMING (1994)
