POLLEN ANALYSIS AT THE UNCAS SITE

Summary

Five pollen samples were collected in association with House 3 at the

Uncas Site (34Ka-172). The Uncas Site is located on the shores of Kaw Lake

to the northeast of Ponca City in Kay County, Oklahoma. This house yielded

radiocarbon ages suggesting that occupation occured between 510 + 50 BP and

410 ± 50 BP. Several samples were collected as controls to aid in

establishing background pollen frequencies against which to compare the

pollen from the house floor and feature. Pollen analysis was aimed at

identifying any subsistence activities that took place within the house.
