DOCUMENT
Full-Text
Unburned sediment containing wood charcoal was noted as a spoil pile resulting from chert mining at the Three Waters Quarries, Site 24VW559, on the Missouri River in Montana. The mine represents Pelican Lake Complex utilization during the Late Middle Prehistoric Period. Pollen and macrofloral analyses were conducted on the sediment to identify the types of plants growing in the area and those that were burned. Charcoal removed from this sample also will be radiocarbon dated.
