Author(s): Linda J. Scott

Year: 1978

Summary

Pollen analysis was undertaken on 44 samples from site LA 15867 and its surroundings in Union County, New Mexico. The site is located on a series of six ridges near the Dry Cimarron River and consists of stone rings and associated use areas located on the tops of the ridges. The site appears to be Plains Woodland in affiliation and may date between approximately A.D. 700 and A.D. 1000 (Yvonne Oakes, personal communication, December 14, 1978). Various features of the site were sampled for pollen and represent material from five ridges and depths

ranging from 0-2 cm to 10-15 cm below the present ground surface. Modern surface samples were also collected at various stations along the ridges representing different econiches in the area of the site.
