POLLEN ANALYSIS AT A SLAB-LINED STORAGE CIST, 5RB2636, RIO BLANCO COUNTY, COLORADO

Summary

Two pollen samples were collected in connection with an archaeological

mitigation project south of Rangely in Rio Blanco County, Colorado. The

site, 5RB2636, consists of a prehistoric storage ciet, probably Fremont,

located in the mouth of a small unnamed tributary of Park Canyon. The site

is situated at the base of a mesa on the east side of the mouth of the

drainage. The storage cist is slab-lined, and was excavated into the

alluvial deposits in the canyon bottom. Pollen analysis was undertaken in

an effort to define, if possible, the contents of this storage cist during

occupation.
