DOCUMENT Full-Text Linda J. Scott.

Pollen samples from four sites in the Chuska Valley have been analyzed to determine their pollen content. These sites, LA 12732, LA 12733, LA 12734, and LA 12735, were excavated as a part of a highway salvage project and are all within a 1/2 mile stretch along U. S. 666 north of Sheep Springs, New Mexico. The elevation of the area is 1789 meters (5870 feet) with the Chuska Mountains rising to the west and an extremely arid valley stretching eastward to the Chaco Wash. The vegetation at the sites...


PALYNOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF SITE 5MTUMR2344 (1974)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Linda J. Scott.

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 comparison 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...

PALYNOLOGICAL INVESTIGATIONS AT DEBEQUE ROCKSHELTER (SME82) IN WESTERN COLORADO (1979)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Linda J. Scott.

Palynological analysis at the DeBeque Rockshelter (SME82) in western Colorado was undertaken in conjunction with archaeological mitigation of the site. The pollen samples were taken from most of the levels identified in the fill from four grid locations within the rockshelter, and are combined to form a composite pollen diagram. The pollen samples were taken from both cultural and sterile levels, but no pollen samples were taken in direct association with cultural features such as hearths. ...


PALYNOLOGICAL INVESTIGATIONS AT SITES LA 13659 AND LA 12117, BANDELIER NATIONAL MONUMENT, NEW MEXICO (1978)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Linda J. Scott.

Test excavations were conducted at two cave sites in Alamo Canyon, Bandelier National Monument, New Mexico during the summer of 1977 by the National Park Service. In conjunction with these studies, pollen samples were taken at both sites (LA 13659 and LA 12117) for the purpose of providing paleo-environmental data for the occupational periods at the sites, to identify culturally important elements of the environment, and if possible to identify certain use areas within the sites studied.


PALYNOLOGICAL INVESTIGATIONS IN THE CURECANTI BASIN, COLORADO (1979)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Linda J. Scott.

Test excavations were conducted by the National Park Service in the Curecanti National Recreation Area in Colorado during the summers of 1978 and 1979. Analysis of 30 pollen samples from six different prehistoric sites was undertaken in conjunction with the test excavations at Curecanti during 1979 to determine the significance of some of the archaeological sites in the area. This data will also be compared with the data generated by the analysis of pollen samples from the 1978 field season. The...


PALYNOLOGICAL INVESTIGATIONS OF FIFTEEN VESSELS FROM MV820, MESA VERDE NATIONAL PARK (1978)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Linda J. Scott.

Pollen samples were taken in 15 vessels in conjunction with excavations at MVB20 during the summer of 1969. In addition, two pollen samples were also taken from the clay below the floor in room 22, and inside the skull of burial 1B. These pollen samples were analyzed for their pollen content in an effort to determine probable vessel contents. The method of sampling these vessels yielded pollen samples representative of the general trash fill within the site rather than being indicative of any...

DOCUMENT Full-Text Linda J. Scott.

Palynological investigations of eighteen soil samples were undertaken in conjunction with archaeological excavations at two sites in Emery County, Utah. These two sites (42EM959 and 42EM960) are small rockshelters located approximately 75 mile apart at an elevation of 6,750 ·feet in a pinyon/juniper woodland ecozone in central Utah. Both sites appear to be Fremont sites dating between ca. AD 400 and AD 1200. A single early Archaic projectile point recovered from the lower strata of 42EM959...


POLLEN ANALYSIS AT 5WL453: A WOODLAND SITE IN NORTHEASTERN COLORADO (1980)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Linda J. Scott.

Pollen analysis was undertaken at 5WL453 in an effort to provide both ethnobotanical and envirorunental information about the site. This site is located on a terrace above the Little Thompson River near Johnstown, Colorado. The site is estimated to be a Late Woodland camp site or habitation site (Bob Lawrence, personal communication, March 1980). Maize agriculture was being practiced farther east during the Woodland period (Wedel 1961; Wood 1967), so one of the main objectives of the pollen...

POLLEN ANALYSIS AT THE OASIS OF MARA, TWENTYNINE PALMS, CALIFORNIA (2004)
DOCUMENT Full-Text R.A. Varney.

The Oasis of Mara is a permanent spring located in the Mojave desert in Twentynine Palms, California. This spring has served as important source of water and center for human occupation in the high desert region from prehistoric to post World War II. A geologic trench at the site revealed a layer dated to 9000 years BP that represented either an eolian lense or a liquifaction feature within a stratum containing marsh sediments. Three pollen samples were analyzed from above, below and within...

DOCUMENT Full-Text Linda Scott Cummings. Kathryn Puseman. Jaime Dexter.

Sites AZ CC:1:89 and AZ CC:2:299 belong to a large cultural complex containing 29 sites located in Maricopa County, Arizona, near the Gila River approximately 160 miles east of Phoenix. Both sites are thought to have been prehistoric. Site AZ CC:1:89 consists of rock ring features associated with a low density sherd and lithic scatter, while site AZ CC:2:299 is probably a prehistoric horticultural site that also contains seven rock piles and a chipped-stone scatter. Four samples collected...
