POLLEN ANALYSIS OF FIVE PIECES OF GROUNDSTONE FROM THE CRESCENT LAKE SITE (35KL749), DESCHUTES NATIONAL FOREST, KLAMATH COUNTY, OREGON

Summary

Five pieces of groundstone collected during the 1987, 1988, and 1991

excavations at Crescent Lake Campground were examined for pollen. This two component lithic scatter included obsidian tool fragments, flakes, groundstone,

and fragmented projectile points. Artifacts were recovered from the pre-Mazama

paleosol, from a Mazama ash/pumice level, and from unprovenienced locations at

the site. These five pieces of groundstone were washed to recover pollen and

starch granules that might be adhering to these tools as a result of their

prehistoric use.
