POLLEN AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS AT 5LA5255 (SUE SITE) AND 5LA5846 (CARVED ROCK HILL), PINON CANYON MANEUVER AREA, SOUTHEASTERN COLORADO
Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings
Year: 1990
Summary
Stratigraphic pollen samples were examined from two archaeological
sites in the Pinon Canyon Maneuver Area — 5LA5255 (the Sue Site) and
5LA5846 (Carved Rock Hill). The stratigraphic pollen record was analyzed to
provide a description of paleoenvironmental conditions at both sites. In
addition, the data gathered from this stratigraphic examination of the Sue
Site will be compared with a previous stratigraphic study at that site.
Botanical materials recovered during dry screening at the Sue Site were
also submitted for identification. Most of these remains are uncharred.
Recovery of uncharred remains in a rockshelter cannot automatically be
assumed to be contamination. Therefore, identification might relate to the
presence of plants in the local environment at the time of sediment
accumulation at the Sue Site.
